These days there is a push for teachers to get away from the traditional lecture style teaching that has been so popular in the past. We need to find new and more innovative ways to reach our students. Making a fun and colorful comic to present new information could be just one way to do this.
I created a comic on ToonDoo to introduce some simple parts of speech: nouns and verbs. On ToonDoo you can choose your background, characters, props, and speaking bubbles. You can also choose the layout that you want your comic to be in. Teachers could use a comic at the beginning of a unit to capture and focus students’ attention on what they will be learning. It would be a nice change from the original lecture presentation. Teachers could also use comic strips as assessment tools. They could have their students make a comic strip to demonstrate what they learned in a particular lesson. Student would enjoy the change and be motivated to use their creativity.
