Turkey Trouble


I used Comic Maker to create my comic.  We are writing turkey disguise stories this month in my fourth grade classroom. I thought this would be a fun way for students to present a condensed version of their stories to read to their kindergarten book buddies. Creating comic strips would allow students the opportunity to tell their written stories. They could turn their written work into a comic like I did below. In addition, students could make a comic strip to explain a region of the United States that we are learning in social studies. They could write a comic strip and focus on using onomatopoeia. Lastly, I plan to have students take the following Calvin and Hobbes comic from our Science curriculum that shows misconceptions and have them create a new comic that correctly explains the incorrect information. I think using the comic as a new way to present your writing would fall under the Modification level on the SAMR model. Since, the Comic Maker app allows for significant task redesign.
