Read Write Think: Book Report Alternative: Examine Story Elements Using Comic Stri

Curated by ACT

Comic frames are traditionally used to illustrate a story in a short, concise format. In this lesson, students use a six-paneled comic strip frame to create a story map, summarizing a book or story that they have read. Each panel retells a particular detail or explains a literary element (such as setting or character) from the story.
