COMIC STRIPS
Have you ever read comic strips?
Do you know Garfield?
Do you know Garfield?
Does the name Peanuts sound familiar?
Did you ever have a good laugh with one of their stories
or of other characters?
How about getting to know them a little better?
Let’s look them up!
The Task1 – From an existing strip of the chosen
character, change the dialogue with an original one, in other words, of the groups’s creation. The meaning must be different and the simple present and present progressive must be used.
2 – Create a completely new strip. The same character can be used or you can create a new one.
How To Do It1 - Choose a character from internet sources on the Surf The Web slide and then join the group of that character (each group must have 5 components at the most);
2 - Each participant of the group will be responsible for a topic on the first web research:
- its history (how old it is, who is its creator, etc);
- its characteristics;
- other than newspapers how can you have access to it;
- what type of language is used.
How To Do It3 – The second web research will be on making the strip and each student can be in charge of a section according to the division of their choice.
Let your creativity loose!
