Unit 3 Section 1 Listening 3 and 4

(Second part)

Next, you are going to learn how to make your own comic strip.

Step 1: Write ideas

First, decide what story you want to tell. Make sure your story has a beginning, middle and end. Write down your ideas.

Step 2: Draw frames

Then, draw three frames on a clean piece of paper, using a pencil and a ruler. You can mark where the speech bubbles and thought bubbles will go.

Step 3: Draw characters

Now, it’s time to draw your characters! If you are not good at drawing, you can use basic shapes. You can even use stick figures. Use a pencil so that you can erase any mistakes.

Step 4: Add text

Next, add text in the speech bubbles and thought bubbles. Add captions if necessary. Don’t forget to double-check your spelling.

Step 5: Add details

Now, go back to your characters and add details such as facial expressions and movement lines.

Step 6: Finish the work

Finally, use a pen to go over your pencil drawings and rub out any pencil lines. Your three-frame comic strip is finished. Hooray!
