Walt: write a narrative that is descriptive (paints a picture in the reader's mind)

Instructions:

This week we are creating a piece of narrative writing about a comic book hero!

You are to use the picture on the right as your story starter or even your story finisher.

Not sure what this means? Well, the picture could depict what is happening in the beginning of your story. You would describe the events from the picture then tell your audience what happens next.

Or if you’re using the picture as your story ending, what are the

events that led to this action packed scene?

Walt: use onomatopoeia in our writing.

Instructions:

An important aspect of comics is how they are written using speech and thought bubbles, and often include onomatopoeia.

Onomatopoeia are words that mimic the sound they refer to; they are often used in comic strips as action sounds. This means the reader can gather information from both the pictures and the words to tell the story.
