A picture is really worth a thousand words
As a fundamentally visual medium comics provide scaffolding for students, bringing together visual and text based learning. Students can create a one page comic illustrating a concept or a more complex multipage storyline in Comic Life. Incorporating photos and drawings to their narratives is a fun way for students to cement narrative arcs, demonstrate understanding and be creative!
Whole Class
The process for creating a comic as a whole class can be fun as well as an excellent experience for students to polish their interpersonal communication skills. The process, however, is likely to be very different from any other kind of writing and will require students and the teacher to quickly change roles.
Small Group Digital Graphic Writing
Older students may wish to create comics in smaller groups. The dynamics from group to group will vary, and the teacher will need to monitor and make suggestions as necessary. Otherwise the process will be similar to the one above.
Digital Graphic Writing as a Solitary Pursuit
Students can make comics individually, of course, and may much prefer it to collaboration. How much is text and how much is graphics will vary from student to student, project to project. Comic Life can be used to produce work which is mostly text and fewer images as well as graphic dominated comics. Students may use Comic Life for a variety of different writings.
