Comic Strip Reflection

 Comic strips are fun ways to get students learning in your classroom. By creating a comic strip about a topic such as WW1 or addition problems in math, I think students will easily learn the material because the lesson is presented as a story with fun pictures with creative characters. I could definitely see myself printing off copies of comics that I make and handing one to each of my students to read. Having the students read the comic could be part of the introduction to a lesson. Not only will the students enjoy reading the comic, making the comic is a lot of fun too. For my comic, I was able to pick out my characters, choose a background, and use my own words to fill out a word cloud. During the first few weeks of school, students could also go to the website above and create their own comic strip about their family or an event in their life to share with the class.
