Comic Truths

Worksheet Description

“Comic Truths” is a creative worksheet that invites students to design a one-panel comic incorporating a truism in its dialogue. This blank template provides spaces for drawing and speech bubbles, prompting students to think visually as well as textually. The exercise combines the art of illustration with the wit of writing, as students must come up with a scenario that effectively conveys a truism—a statement that is self-evidently true. It’s an engaging way for students to express common wisdom or universal truths through the medium of a comic.

This worksheet is teaching students to communicate a concept—truisms—through the combined use of imagery and text, common in graphic storytelling. It encourages the development of artistic skills and narrative thinking, as students must create characters and scenarios that can convey a truism in a single panel. This activity promotes the understanding of how visual context can enhance or alter the impact of written language. By creating comics, students learn to appreciate the power of succinct communication and the use of humor or irony in expressing truths.
