Over the past few days my classes interest towards comics and graphic novels has prompted me to think about how I can harness this to motivate my children to write. I have used the application Comic Life before but not yet with this class, so I decided to use a block to front load children with the skills and basic information they would need to use it to produce a comic of their own. Most children grasped the basics quickly and dived straight in.
After the skills session I let the class know they were able to use Comic Life for the publishing of their own writing. Straight away a group of 6 boys were hooked in and began working on their own stories, so used Comic Life while others asked to use Pages. The quality of their writing is not the highest quality yet is much more writing than many of them have produced all year.
