What do you think?

• Make a comic about chapter 1 of the book (and more chapters if you'd like.
  
• This is going to help you understand the story a bit better.
• I'd like to see (and hear something) about your comics afterwards.
  
• If you are finished, you could colour in your comic, add text, or add any other details.
  

• Make a character map
• Character description
• Make a comic book
• Write a summary. Why? - visual
  

You could choose your favourite character, or one you think is interesting, etc.

Katie Cassidy: Katie is the main character in the book. She is a very nice person and wants to help everybody. She’s also very fair but she’s going to lie when she has to help a good friend. She’s got dark-brown hair until the shoulders and a small posture. She’s afraid for Ivy Toner and her gang but Zan helps her.

Zan: Katie meets a girl on the dump and she calls her ‘Zan’. Zan is a girl that runs away from home and lives in a cardboard box now. She has the same looks as Katie. Unlike Katie, Zan isn’t afraid for Ivy and her gang and she defends Katie with fighting. But she only fights when she has to.

Ivy Toner: Ivy is the girl that bullies Katie. She’s not a good person but she changes in the book because Zan teaches her a lesson and then she’s going to be a shy person. She always got 2 friends by her (that makes the gang complete), they are Lindy Harkins and Michelle Thomson. Katie just thinks that they’re stupid, because when Ivy is not with them, they don’t dare to bully Katie.

Nazeem: Nazeem is a girl that wants Katie’s (and Zan’s) help. Why she needs that help you can read in the plot. She’s going to be a good friend of Katie. And she talks a lot.

Blank comic panels are a great resource for the reading teacher. Once your students have finished a story selection, give each person a blank comic page in which to retell the story. (You can find dozens of empty templates online.) Your students should then retell the major events in the story by filling in the empty blocks with pictures and dialogue (when appropriate). Once students are finished, you can display the comics on a bulletin board or compile them into a book for students to read during independent reading time. You will know if they understood what they read, and they will enjoy expressing their comprehension in a creative way!
