Instead of having my students write a book report I had them create a comic strip which they truly appreciated. I love how you can use this comic strip with any companion book. I also love the layout of the comic strip. It has enough space for text and illustrations so student word isn't cramped. My students absolutely loved the ease of this comic strip template. I'll use it with another book later on in the year. Thank you for making such a neat resource! You have a new follower!
