Looking for an interesting way to start the school year? ‘The Holiday Adventures of…’ is a fun resource designed to help enhance students’ recount writing skills using a comic book style.

Students can make the comic book their own by adding their name in the bang icon on the page header and then filling in the sections. Included is a ready-made comic book template with captions for students to share their holiday stories. It covers the orientation, events in chronological order, and the conclusion, with room for pictures and captions. An editable version of the comic book template is also available if you would like to change the section headings. If students are feeling super creative, a blank template has been provided for them to design their recount comic from scratch.

For more experienced writers, lined versions are included for students to write more detailed recounts. The comic book templates could also be used as a way to organise their ideas before diving into more detailed writing.

Just download, print, and get your students excited about the new school year with this creative activity!This resource downloads as an editable PowerPoint.
