Upper Intermediate Level >> Reading And Writing Materials >> This is such a simple idea that can be adapted for so many levels and purposes. Everyday comic strips have the dialogue bubbles blanked out and students have to create the dialogue.
Comic Strip Four.
Upper Intermediate
It is a good idea to ask some questions about the characters to help 'set the scene' before the students start writing.
- What is the relationship between the boy and the dog?
- How old are they?
- What are they wearing?
- Where are they and what are they doing?
- What is the importance of the form, the pile of bills, the bag for traveling?
- etc, etc
If you want the students to do more writing than just a few speech bubbles, you could always set them a full write up of the story for homework.
