How to Use Comic Life
This article talks about how to use comic life in classrooms from pre-k to 12th. “Comics have some great uses in the classroom and in a variety of curricula. From pre-readers to high school students, from English to ESL to Science and Math, comics can help students analyze, synthesize and absorb content that may be more difficult when presented in only one way” (Thacker, 2007). Comics also help with sequencing and relating pictures to print. This tool can help teachers relate Howard Garner’s Multiple Intelligences to lessons as well. Comic Life also helps facilitate student participation in the classroom. Then, the article leads viewers through a step-by-step process of creating a comic.
Here are some ways that teachers can incorporate Comic Life into their lessons:
· Timelines (history, events, sequences)
· Historical figures (history of, life of)
· Instructions (step by step, details, illustrations, easy to follow)
· Dialogue punctuation
· Character analysis
· Plot analysis
· Storytelling
· Pre-Writing Tool
· Post-Reading Tool
· Teaching Onomatopoeias
