The Comic Creator invites students to compose their own
comic strips for a variety of contexts (prewriting, pre- and postreading
activities, response to literature, and so on). The organizers focus on the key
elements of comic strips by allowing students to choose backgrounds,
characters, and props, as well as to compose related dialogue (shown at left).
This versatile tool can be used by students from kindergarten through high
school, for purposes ranging from learning to write dialogue to an in-depth
study of a formerly neglected genre. The tool is easy to use, made even easier
with the Comic Strip Planning Sheet, a printable PDF that comic
creators can use to draft and revise their work before creating and printing
their final comics. After completing their comic, students have the ability to
print out and illustrate their final versions for feedback and assessment.
