For our comic strip

living at my friend Sherlock Holmes's flat on
Baker Street in London. One day, very early in
the morning, I woke up and found him standing
there, right next to my bed. I blinked in some
surprise, for it was only 7:15. He was fully
dressed and I was still in my pajamas. He told
me about a woman who had come to see us.

Remember
Adverbs help define verbs, adjectives or other adverbs. For example, it’s
not the same saying “in the morning” / “early in the morning” / “very early in
the morning”. In the first case we refer to the time from sunrise to noon. The
second narrows it down to the first part of the morning. The last expression
specifies that it was an unusual time, since it includes the word very. Usually,
adverbs answer questions such as where?, when?, how?, how often? or how
long?, to what extent? or how much?]

26. Check the first draft you did in Activity 23 and decide if you need to delete or
add any information.
• Consider the answers to the questions in Activity 24.

• Write the paragraphs for the narrator and the characters’ dialogues.
• Determine which information will be in the text and which in the illustrations. Look at
the example.
