Assignment 17: Develop a Comic Strip / SAT Vocabulary
Grade: Quiz
Directions: Develop a comic strip about topic of your choosing.
1) Develop a comic strip following the guidelines in the rubric below.
2) Include any 7-10 words from any SAT vocabulary assignment you’d had during the 3rd and 4th quarters. As you
include this vocabulary, redefine the meaning of the word in the sentence and context as you have done in all SAT
vocabulary activities.
3) To successfully complete this assignment, you will submit a sequence of at least four frames (see the attached
document to see the format) as stated in the rubric. If you don’t feel comfortable drawing, you may work with a
classmate, someone who has drawing ability—please let me know if you do, so I know who you are when the
assignment is graded. You may also use the drawings you completed in Assignment 7.

SAT Vocab
The student has included 7-10 words in the comic. The vocabulary fits
the context and can be easily understood within context. The definition
of the word(s) is restated in the sentences.
Captions are related to the scenes. Writing in all frames is cohesive and
is followed with ease. The language is sophisticated and corresponds to
the characters’ personalities.
The main characters (3 at most) are clearly identified, and their actions
and dialogue are well-matched. Characters are also defamiliarized.
Thought/ Speech bubbles are present and clearly reveal a character's
thoughts or relay dialogue efficiently.

Writing is virtually error free. The writer uses proper punctuation and
capitalization.
