Teaching perspective: comic strip activity

A creative one-page assignment where students show how the same event looks completely different depending on who is experiencing it. Students choose from 8 relatable scenarios, then create a two-panel comic strip showing both perspectives using dialogue bubbles, thought bubbles, and captions. Stick figures are explicitly welcomed so no student feels left out.

Scenarios are school-based and relevant: being late to class, getting a bad grade, a phone in class, two friends wanting the same shirt, and more. Low stakes, high engagement. Works great as a follow-up to any perspective or point of view lesson.

What's included: 1-page PDF (8.5 x 11, print ready)
