Hi,
I do consider them a text feature. I'm not sure what you mean by
"appropriate description." I have always called them speech bubbles
or word balloons, and have heard them referred to by both of these
terms.

Hi All,
Grade four students at our school are doing a unit on text features.
The issue is around speech bubbles.
A student teacher referred to them as captions which does not
exactly fit in our minds. Captions are more like titles or brief
descriptions referring to labelling of something.
It would be part of graphic novel/comic book style.
In the book series Diary Of A Whimpy Kid, the speech bubbles are an
integral part of the whole flow of the story.
In the math text speech bubbles are used to reinforce key
information. A little person will be speaking to reinforce some
point.
We have not been able to find any resources that would help to clarify.
If anyone ahs any thoughts or calrifications about how to best
describe speech bubbles, we would greatly appreciate being put on
the right track.
Thanks,
Sharon
