Step 1:

Research some human activities that affect your cycle.

Have a look at some of these websites for help-

Greenhouse Effect
Humans and the Water Cycle


Step 2:

Once you have selected one way human activity affects your cycle eg- that polluted water becomes acid rain- and the consequences of this, you can begin to work out what scenario you will show on your comic strip.

Do a draft working out your characters, setting, script and plot before beginning your comic strip. You could use a story board to do this....



Step 3:

Go to this website Make Beliefs Comix and begin to construct your comic strip. Make sure that everyone has a go at creating the comic strip, perhaps take turns in making each panel of the strip.

Tip- Most comic strips use elements of comedy to help get their point across, it might help to make your comic strip funny. Take a look at some comic strips online or in your newsagent for some ideas.




This is your chance to be really creative and put the information you have gathered into a real situation. This will help you to build up a concept of what you are going to focus on for your end task.
