2nd activity of the first free week: Creating your own comic

Today you will create comic strips using the Make Belief Comix site.


Follow these steps:
  • Wait just a few seconds. You will then see the comic creator. Try to imagine a dialogue. Use your creativity. The comic can have as many pictures as you need.
  • You are ready to create a comic strip.
  • Choose the first character you want to use, click on it. Then scroll through different emotions that you would like them to have by clicking on the red arrows.

  • Once you have the one you want, just click on the person and they will appear in the comic strip. You can drag the person to the position you want them. Add other characters and text balloons for your dialogue.
  • Click on the "talk baloons" or "thought baloons" and move them to the picture. Type the words.
  • Notice you have some tools that will allow you to move the characters.
  • Once you have finished you can print up or email the comic strip to your friends and yourself and keep it as a reminder.

  • I sent an e-mail to myself so that I could get the code of my comic. I received the following:

  2. I'm afraid you've pasted the url of the site and not the one of your comic. Try again!

  9. Hi miss!, sorry if I didn't do the exercices before, but I couldn't because "technical problems". Now I'm doing all of them(:

    This is the link for my comic, it's a joke. It's a bit feminist, but it was the first joke that came to my mind: http://www.makebeliefscomix.com/Comix/?comix_id=20452811C120504

  11. That's O.K., Tatiana. They sometimes send it. You may answer you heard about it from your teacher of English, from Argentina.
