Graphic novels are becoming more and more popular with today's younger readers. Comics can also be a wonderful teaching tool in all classrooms. Students can also create comic strips as a product for many types of assessment.  For this assignment, you will create your own comic strip using any of the
online comic generators listed below, or one of your own choosing. The strip can be whatever
length you desire. It should be connected to the grade level or
subject area you plan on teaching. While creating a strip does take a
little creativity, I will not be assessing you on your comic flair. I will
simply be looking at how well you have used the tool and how well you
consider the use of comics as an educational tool.The comic will be posted on your web page or incorporated into you newsletter. You will not be able to submit the comic as an attachment - it must be incorporated into your web page or your newsletter. You will also write a brief description of ways that you believe that you could incorporate this type of technology into your classroom. This information can be entered directly into the text box within the assignment submission window in Oncourse. Some comic creation sites: From ReadWriteThink.org From MakeBeliefsComix.com From ComicStripGenerator.com From Garfield's Comic Creator From BoysLife.org From Disney Comic Creator From Witty Comics From Chogger From Comic Master From Super Hero Squad Comic Generator There are many more out there, but this should get you started. Use the comic strip rubric as a guide for this assignment and to ensure that it is submitted correctly for assessment purposes. Examples can be found on both of the mock teacher web sites that I have created or you can check these examples out: |
