What child doesn’t like cartoons? And what child wouldn’t be thrilled to have the opportunity to create their own cartoon?
Save your funny papers from the Sunday newspaper and take them to share with your class. (All of them will not be appropriate, so select the ones you think your children will enjoy.) Explain how cartoonists use “bubbles” to let you know what the characters are saying. Tell the children that they will get to draw their own cartoons and they can use bubbles to let their characters talk.
Attached are cartoon frames with 2, 3, and 4 sections. Start off by giving them copies of the cartoon frame with 2 sections. Tell them to think of a story that has a beginning and an end and draw it.
Next, let them think of a story with a beginning, middle, and end.
Finally, challenge them to create a story with 4 sections.
*Use cartoon frames to recall the sequence of a story.
*Use cartoon frames for the life cycle of a butterfly, the water cycle, plant growth, and so forth.
*Let them draw a picture of you and make a bubble with something you frequently say coming out of your mouth. You might be surprised!!!!
