Hello, everyone! Hope the beginning of the week finds you and your family well and ready for a Back to School Week!

For the little guys……how about drawing a dragonfly? Follow the step by step instructions and then color it in to look really fabulous!

For the bigger guys…..let’s start a comic strip today that we can work on all week and turn into a comic book by the end of the week!

So, let’s start with this worksheet. We can make a really quick one to get the hang of it by filling in the information on the sheet. Instead of showing it to friends, maybe share it with someone in your family. Once you have this one knocked off, turn the paper over and do the following:

1. Come up with a story line that could get long enough to make a comic book. Write the story down or use a list of events that will happen starting at 1. and working your way through the action. Be thinking about the characters and how they interact and move the story along.

2. Draw a character sketch of each of the people/animals/aliens/monsters, etc. that will be in you story. Think about detail and making them interesting to look at. Color them in if you want of you could leave them just black and white for now.

Let’s stop there for today. Make sure you have an interesting story- something that moves along, it can be funny, serious, you could tell jokes, …think about what the characters will be doing and we will pick it up tomorrow! Come up with your OWN story and make up your OWN characters. Don’t copy anything, be creative and take ownership of this!!!

As always- do all of your schoolwork- we start grading this week! Get outside for some fresh air, be helpful at home and Be Kind!!!
