Comic Creators

Below are some really great comic creators to use in your instruction. But how can we use comics in the classroom?

1. Character Analysis: As students choose a favorite character from a story and they re-write that character into a comic strip. In their comic, students attempt to demonstrate how their characters would act in different situations.
2. Re-telling of historical events: Ask students to create short comic strips about historical events.
3. Create alternative book reports: Rather than writing a book report have your students create three to five frame comic strips covering key parts.
4. Create digital citizenship lessons. Ask students to create comic strips to demonstrate proper responses to unsafe digital citizenship behaviors.
5. Express feelings: Students can re-tell a situations that made them feel happy, sad, or mad. The use of facial expressions on comic characters is a nice way for students to express their feelings even if they don't write much within the scene itself.
