Does writing time have you and your students groaning? Do you struggle keeping your class engaged and/or find teaching writing to be boring? I've been there, done that. Now you can turn writing into a fun and engaging activity that will have your students asking, " Is it time for writing yet!?"

All writing time stress will be gone with one word. Comics!

Comics are engaging for kids and adults alike, and now you can help your students learn to love writing with Comic Writing Activities! This is a fun and creative way to teach your students the writing process!

After learning all about what it takes to create a comic, they will go through the brainstorming process, rough draft, editing, and finally make a comic! There is a huge variety of templates to make comic strips, full pages, and comic books!

This is a creative writing project that students can work on independently, giving you time for working with small groups or editing drafts during writing time! With comics, they can be used for many topics and any time of the year. There is a page with ideas of cross curricular writing activities included in the unit!

The entire comic writing unit is available in the following versions:

➀ NO PREP: Just print! Black and white to save on ink!
