Comics

This week we have been learning about how to write comic strips. On Monday we were given some small comics without words. We had to fill in the speech bubbles with a story we made up. It had to make sense with the pictures. Then on Tuesday our teacher's husband came in to teach us all about drawing. He is an artist. He also taught us about how to make up lots of different and original characters for comics.

After he had shown us a slideshow we got to work making our own comics. My first comic was about a character called Captain New Zealand. He's kind of like Captain America except he solves problems in New Zealand. On Wednesday he came in again. I did another comic. This one was about a girl who does a slideshow presentation. She tells her teacher that she has some special effects. Her teacher is okay with that so she starts her slideshow. It turns out she went a bit over the top with her special effects.

I found it really fun and can't wait to do it again.
