• TELL YOUR LIFE STORY

  Introduce yourself, talk about who you are, what you do, what you're interested in, what you like or don't like. I Perhaps you'll also want to use other characters in your comic strip to introduce family members or best friends. In your comic strip have the character talk or think about the important parts of your life that you want to share with others.

  TRAVEL TO A MYSTERIOUS PLACE

  MAKE BELIEVE you could travel to a mysterious land, planet or star. What is your character thinking or saying as it begins traveling on its trip – such as its hopes, expectations? What strange things or creatures does your character see or encounter in this mysterious land? Have your character comment on what it sees or encounters or engage in a conversation with a person, creature or animal it encounters. This can be in the form of greetings, dialogues, jokes, questions, or have the mysterious creature talk about its life. Have them react to one another – for example, they can comment on their appearance, they can talk about their favorite foods or customs. They can talk about real life concerns, too, such as living with bullies, loneliness, loss, problems on their minds.

  A DAY AT SCHOOL

  MAKE BELIEVE that you're in school. Your teacher is talking to the students in your class, and you have the power to read the hidden thoughts and daydreams of your fellow students as the teacher lectures. Choose a character to be the teacher who is speaking to students. What are his or her words? Now, what is going on in students’ heads? Place thought balloons over students’ heads and in them write their secret thoughts. If you wish, you can use talk balloons to have students respond to teacher’s words.

  A REUNION

  MAKE BELIEVE you could speak to someone you thought was lost to you forever. What are the words you would use? How would that other person react?

  DEALING WITH BULLIES

  MAKE BELIEVE you could defend yourself effectively from a bully or someone who acts badly to you. What are the words you would say to this person? What comeback would you have after someone tries to embarrass you?

  FINDING YOUR COURAGE

  MAKE BELIEVE you could be bold and brave for a day. Just what great deeds would you do? How would you change?

  A NEW IDENTITY

  MAKE BELIEVE you could transform yourself into the person you always wanted to be. Who would that be, and what would that person be like?
