Activity 23
• Elicit the importance of writing
a first draft. Their answers may
vary, but they should be able to T

if the comic strip works, or if
there are any mistakes that they
need to correct (regarding the
format, design, illustrations, text,
grammar, and spelling).
• Remind students to use all they
have worked on throughout
this practice to do the first draft.
They should go back and check
the previous activities and
decide what they need.

• Go through the example
with students and read
the REMEMBER.
• Help them take note of the
different adverbs used and
encourage students to use some

comic strip.

told in the text and what is going
on in the illustration.

illustration in Activity 23.
• Remind them that they can read the transcript in the next activity, but they should only focus on what the T
student says, not on the notes surrounding the description.

• Ask them to describe each of the panels of their first draft.

• Tell them that this is another way to look for missing details and to check their work before doing the final

That will allow them to contrast their own repertoire of words to the one from the story and to select
appropriate adjectives and adverbs to describe their characters.
