About this resource
Description
Comics are a fun way for young writers to tell a whole story with pictures and words. This 4 rectangles comic strip worksheet gives second graders four panels to plan a story from beginning to end, show each event in order, and add the words their characters say. It builds narrative writing skills while feeling like play.
About This Worksheet
The page starts with a line to write the name of the comic. Below it are four numbered panels set in two rows, a narrow box beside a wide box, just like a real comic book page. Each panel has an empty speech bubble at the top and plenty of room underneath to draw. Children draw the beginning of their story in panel 1, the middle events in panels 2 and 3, and the ending in panel 4, then write what the characters say in each bubble. Because every story is the child’s own, the sheet is a single open-ended page. This 2nd grade comic strip template works well in a writing center, as morning work, or as a follow-up to a read aloud.
What’s Included
- A line to write the title of the comic
- Four numbered comic panels in narrow and wide sizes
- A speech bubble in each panel for dialogue
- A single printable page in color
Why Kids Love It
First, four panels give children a clear beginning, middle, and end, so they practice telling events in order. Second, drawing before writing helps kids plan their ideas and gives them a picture to talk about. Third, speech bubbles make writing dialogue feel natural, because students simply write what each character would say out loud.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Model a quick four-panel comic on the board before handing out the 4 rectangles comic strip worksheet, and think aloud about what happens first, next, then, and last. Invite students to read their finished comics to a partner using character voices. Offer a story starter, such as a lost mitten or a surprise visitor, for writers who need help getting going. Children who enjoy it can move up to a six- or nine-box comic page next.
