Teachers, save “Calvin & Hobbes Blank Comic Strip 2” to assign it to your class.

Strong readers get evidence from the text AND from pictures to make strong inferences. Use the pictures & speech bubbles (the text) in comics to make inferences about the characters. The comic attached is Calvin & Hobbes! 1. On the first read the comic & make an inference about Calvin (the boy). Ask yourself, "What did I learn about him as a character?" 2. On the second fill in the speech bubbles for the next comic. Use the inference you made about him before to create his dialogue on the blank comic! 3. As always, have fun :)
