Texture Comics: Part 2: Creating a Comic Strip (Rashi School Online Lesson)

Hello everyone! This is a lesson for my students at The Rashi School. By now, you've probably seen my lesson Texture Comics, Part 1 and created four texture comic characters, using texture lines and shapes.

Here are mine, remember?

Materials:

-Paper

-Ruler or straight edge

-Pencil

-Black pen or sharpie for outlining

-Markers or colored pencils for coloring

Now, it's time for those characters to have an adventure or two!  First, write down the answers to these questions, to plan your stories:

• What is the title of your texture comic strip?
• What are the names of your characters?
• Are there good guys and bad guys? If so, who is who?
• What is going to happen?
• First...
• Then...
• Then...
• Then...
• Finally...

Got some good ideas? Now, take a piece of paper and use your ruler and pencil to divide it into either 6 or 8 boxes. You can do more, too- depending on how long your story is. 

Your first box should include your name and the title of your comic. The rest are up to you, but you must fill them all! My comic ends on a cliffhanger...

Spoiler alert: Don't worry! Coco the Fuzzy Chick doesn't get eaten by Sam the Scaly Snake- she was just stuck in Fifi the Fluffy Sheep's wool!
