Overview

Comic strips are a great way for students to create, express themselves, and demonstrate what they know. They can use both words and pictures to illustrate meaning. When assigning comic strips, you might choose to provide students with a premade template, or you might want them to start from scratch. You could even have them use free online comic strip creators.
