Activity 28
• Allow plenty of time for students
to make the final version of their
comic strip. You can suggest
drawing the illustrations and
making the speech bubbles
separately, so they can cut and
paste them on the illustrations
after they have finished. Another
option is to trace the illustrations
with a pencil and, once they are
happy with the result, photocopy
the pages and color the images.
It will look as if it were ink.
However, these are only two
ways of doing it and students
should decide how to make
their own comic strip.
• Encourage students to color
the illustrations and to have the
addressee of the comic book
in mind.

• Have a few comic strips or
comic books for students to
scan. If they have some at
hand, they will find it easier to
check the elements they should
present in their own comics.
• IT box icons appear frequently
in the practices with suggested
websites. We recommend
you visit the websites before
the session to check whether the contents proposed are useful for your class planning and to anticipate
questions from your students. You may also want to let them explore the websites freely. These suggestions
are not essential for developing the social practice of language, since we know Internet connection may
not be available at all locations.
Activity 29
• Encourage students to organize a reading session of the comic strips. They can photocopy the originals
so there are plenty of copies for them to read.
• Move the furniture so that students are comfortable. They might lie on the floor, bring some cushions or
have the session outside.
• Decide, with students, the best way to store the comic strips. They can donate them to the library or keep
them in the classroom.
