Creating Comics with Wixie
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.
Your students can use Wixie to combine images and speech bubbles to create comics and cartoons that summarize, teach, retell, inform, raise awareness and more.
Retell and summarize stories
In this project, students create a 4-panel comic to summarize the plot in a story they are reading.

Showcase scientific cycles and processes
Students choose a scientific cycle and create an illustrated comic to share their learning of the process.
Create cartoon tutorials
Once students became experts, they created comics to share their expertise through a cartoon tutorial.
Inform others
Comics are a fun way to get and share information. In this project, students use comics to inform others about health issues.
Promoting positive behavior
Students became agents of change as they created social stories to demonstrate positive behavior and friendship at school.
