Today we experimented with Comics that can be used in the classroom.
I downloaded a program called Comic Life. It was okay but it wasn't that great. I liked the ipad app called Comics Head better.
Here are a few dot points on why comics in the classroom are awesome fun!
- engage readers who learn visually, and who are comfortable with visual media, such as video games and computer graphics
- increase vocabulary
- encourage readers to explore different genres, and develop an appreciation for different literary and artistic styles
- teach positive messages, such as helping others, working to one’s best ability, working as a team, and persevering
- open a reader’s mind to new ways of storytelling, and increase their imagination, through the unique combination of text and pictures used in comics to convey the story.
