PREPARATION
- Gather your selection of Laura Joffe Numeroff picture books and familiarize yourself with the various cause-and-effect relationships in each book.
- If you want students to use the interactive tools Comic Creator or Make Beliefs Comix, review and bookmark the tool on the computers the students will be using. If you’d prefer to provide students with a preprinted template, go to the Comic Strip Planning Sheet, select and print a template, and make the appropriate number of copies for students.
- Review the Comic Strip Checklist and the Comic Strip Rubric. Print out one copy of each for every student.
