Understanding Comics Elements
Comics elements such as panels, gutters, and captions usually are understood intuitively. However, readers may not always be aware of or exposed to the terminology of the elements. Educators and parents can explain these terms, such as speech and thought bubbles, to guide them in their reading journey.
  1. Are speech bubbles and ballons the same?

  2. Do comic strips always include characters?

  3. Should we include the cartoon name?

  4. Are thought bubbles introduced with a square?

  5. Is onomatopoeia a narrative device used to convey information?

  6. How can we introduce whispering?
