1. What was the first cartoon?

2. What did this lesson make you curious about? What other questions do you have about cartoons?

The first cartoons told stories using only pictures. They had no words at all. Think of a story that you can tell using only pictures. It can be a story you’ve heard—like "Cinderella" or "The Three Little Pigs." Or it can be your own story. What pictures could you use to tell the story? Draw your pictures in a cartoon strip, where each picture is in a box. Show it to a friend. Can they tell your story from the pictures you drew?
