Create Your Own Comix Strip

Created by Bill Zimmerman, Author of the book “Make Beliefs”Art by Tom Bloom
Teachers can use this comic strip game to encourage youngsters to improve language, reading, and creative skills. By writing dialogue for comic strips, students can practice using new vocabulary words, engage in make-believe conversations, practice writing sentences, hone storytelling skills, and work independently or collaboratively.

Hi Jim. It's Melissa Panasci. I thought that this site was so GREAT! The kids will absolutely love it! I loved how you could choose your own character and text. I thought that the kids would be totally engaged while actually reading and writing. I'm definitely going to use this with my class. I was thinking that we could even take a "boring" topic (like the water cycle) and have the kids turn it into comic strips to make it a bit more interesting! Thanks!
