Introduction

In class we have read Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice
Sendak. This webquest will let us explore Max and the wild
things some more by creating our very own wild things
stories!

Task
By using your predictions, your job will be to create your
very own wild things story!
You will make a comic strip to show your understanding of the
story Where the Wild Things Are.

Where The Wild Things Are
Get into groups of two to complete this web quest.
With your partner reread Where the Wild Things Are.
Pay close attention to the pictures so that you
have an idea of what you will want to put in your comic strip.

your first predictions were correct.
Print out a new prediction chart and write down or
draw some ideas for your new wild things story.

Comic Strip Planning
You will need to construct two short comics. The first comic will be
of your original predictions and the second will be a recreation of what
actually happened in the story.
Use the comic strip planning sheet to come up withideas for your comics.

Evaluation
Students' comic strips will be evaluated to see if each comic
strip contains their predictions before they read the book and after
they read the book.
Comic strips must reflect predictions as well as a clear
understanding of what actually happened in the book.


Conclusion
Once our comic strips are complete we will share them with the class in a
grand conversation. Let the wild rumpus begin!
