WRITING
Comic Strip Activity:
Choose a joke or a short story on the current topics like lockdown or environment.
Write a script for it. Put in some dialogue. Be careful in your choice of verbs. Draw
a comic strip, according to your script, on an A4 size sheet. You may refer to the
steps and sample given below.
A comic strip is a sequence of drawings, often cartoons, arranged in interrelated
panels to display brief humour or form a narrative, usually serialized, with text
in balloons and captions. You can also create a comic strip using the following
simple steps.
1: Pick a character: Who is your story about? Is your character a human or a
fierce lion?
2: Sketch your character: Do a few sketches of your character on scratch paper.
Draw him/her happy, sad, and angry. What does he/she look like running or
jumping? Make quick sketches of your character doing different things.
3: Think of a plot: What does your character want? Plan your story by giving your
character a hope, want, or goal. Then, put something in the way so that your character has
to struggle before getting what they want. Use the sentence below to help you plan your
G
story.
4: Plan your panels: Before you start drawing, plan how your story will go by saying it out
loud. Point to each panel and plan what your picture will look like. Don’t forget to think about
dialogue – what will your character be saying in each scene?
R 5: Bring your comic to life!: Draw the pictures and add speech bubbles. Use
coloured pencils or crayons to add colour to your comic.
