Comic Book Project
COMIC STRIP PROJECT
Visit gocomics.com with an adult. Skim the comics you like
and find one you can use for writing a dialog. “Calvin and Hobbes”, “Garfield”,
and “Peanuts” are good places to start. Make sure the comic is appropriate to
share at school, and it has at least two speakers.
Right click on the comic of your choice and copy the image to
a new Microsoft Word or Google document. Paste the comic at the top, and then
write a dialog below it, using font size 12 or 14. Include all of the proper
punctuation and quotation marks. Check for spelling, save it, and print two
copies (one for your Writer’s Portfolio). If you have time you may choose
another comic and do a second one for extra-credit. See sample below.
Calvin
says to Hobbes, “ For school, we’re supposed to write a paragraph about what
our dads do.”
Hobbes
reads, “Dad: The Paragraph.”
“Catchy
title, huh?” Calvin asks.
“What
does my dad do?” Hobbes reads again, “ Mostly, he gets on my nerves. The End.”
“You
may get a point for succinctness.” Says Hobbes.
Calvin
replies, “Well what else is there to say?”

Class Newsletter- Week of June 2, 2014
Mr. Hauptmann’s Class Newsletter
Unit 5, Week 5- June 2, 2014
We have a lot going on this week, so I have decided
that there will not be any spelling, though along with their writing and math
homework students should still be reading at least 20 minutes each night. State
research projects are due on Thursday, so please check in with your child and
make sure they are making progress on this assignment.
Tomorrow morning (Tuesday) we are visiting Morse Pond,
where students will get to tour the school and have some of their questions
answered. We will return in time for lunch.
Friday is our bike trip to the Cape Cod Canal! You can
drop off your bike Thursday after school or Friday morning (don’t forget your
helmet!). We will leave promptly at 9:20am and will return to the school around
2:30pm. Please dress for the weather and be prepared by making sure your bike
tires have plenty of air and your bike is working smoothly. Students (and
parent chaperones) should bring a lunch and two water bottles (no glass please).
If a student is requesting a lunch from the cafeteria please let me know by
Wednesday. Students need to carry their lunch with them so plan on bringing a
small backpack to school on Friday. Parents who are planning on riding with us
on Friday should meet us around 9:50am at the large parking lot in Buzzards Bay
(near the Railroad Bridge). This trip is always a highlight for the students
and a great way to reward all the hard work they have done this year!
Important Upcoming Dates:
Tuesday, June 3- 4th grade
classes visit Morse Pond
Thursday, June 5- We are going to try
and recreate our class picture from September (try to wear an outfit that is
similar to what you wore in the picture).

you wear maroon or white)
