Teachers, save “Calvin & Hobbes Blank Comic Strip 1” 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. Read the comic & make an inference about Calvin (the boy). Ask yourself, "What did I learn about him as a character?" 2. 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 :)
