Visual Storytelling and Kindness

Introduce the slide deck by explaining that today's visuals capture how stories can be used to express kindness through comic strips. Highlight that the images show narrative elements, effective use of speech bubbles, and the power of visual storytelling. Use each slide to spark discussion about how simple acts of kindness can be captured in creative ways.

Key Elements of a Comic Strip

Discuss key elements of a comic strip: panels, derivation of characters, and speech bubbles. Emphasize how each choice in design contributes to conveying a message of kindness and empathy.

Examples of Kindness

Showcase several sample comic strips that illustrate kindness. Explain how the visuals and narrative elements work together and ask students what kind act they see in each strip.
