Comics and cartoons are a great way to engage students in the stories they are reading, the information they are researching, and the ideas they are exploring in your curriculum.
Wixie makes it easy for students to combine images and speech bubbles to create comics and cartoons that summarize, teach, retell, inform, raise awareness and more.
In this project, students create a 4-panel comic to summarize the plot in a story they are reading.
Students choose a scientific cycle and create an illustrated comic to share their learning of the process.
Once students became experts, they created comics to share their expertise through a cartoon tutorial.
Comics are a fun way to get and share information. In this project, students use comics to inform others about health issues.
Students became agents of change as they created social stories to demonstrate positive behavior and friendship at school.
Collaborated with our rockstar librarian @jclough22 on a lesson using @Tech4Learning! Kindergarten students used Wixie to make their own story including setting and characters. Ss were so engaged while creating their story! @ShelleyPohzehl @KarenEHaddock @ScottLoomis @PWCSNews pic.twitter.com/AUknH9pxGN
