About this resource
Description
Comics are a wonderful way for young writers to tell a story with pictures and words. This 2 rectangles comic strip worksheet gives first graders two big boxes to plan a short story, show what happens first and what happens next, and add the words their characters say. It builds narrative writing skills while feeling like play.
About This Worksheet
The page opens with a place to write the name of the comic. Below that are two large, full-width panels, numbered 1 and 2. Each panel has an empty speech bubble at the top and plenty of room underneath to draw. Children draw the first part of their story in panel 1, draw what happens next in panel 2, and then write what the characters say in each bubble. This 1st grade comic strip template works well for a writing center, a morning work page, or a quick story after a read aloud.
What’s Included
- A line to write the title of the comic
- Two large numbered comic panels for drawing
- A speech bubble in each panel for dialogue
- A single printable page in color
Why Kids Love It
First, the two-panel format keeps the task small, so beginning writers can finish a whole story with a clear beginning and a clear next step. Second, drawing before writing helps children plan their ideas and gives them a picture to talk about. Third, speech bubbles make writing dialogue feel natural, because kids simply write what each character would say out loud.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Model a quick two-panel comic on the board before handing out the 2 rectangles comic strip worksheet, and think aloud about what happens first and what happens next. Invite students to share their finished comics with a partner and read the speech bubbles in character voices. You can also give a story starter, such as a lost puppy or a rainy day, for children who need help getting started. Once students are comfortable with two panels, move up to four or more boxes.
