Comic Life

As I have worked with teachers in the Elementary and Secondary schools these past couple of months, students are creating awesome projects using the program called Comic Life. Comic Life is relatively easy to use and students who are even in the 3rd grade, can use this fun program. The following are examples of what students have completed in Jordan School District. The projects range from All About Me to a students assignment in Jr. High about predators and hosts. Kudos to these teachers who are doing such great work in their classrooms.

Examples of Completed Projects
These two projects were based on a reading unit called Esperanza Rising. I had gone into this 6th grade class and already had pictures for them in a file that they could use for this particular unit. The students created a cause and effect chart of the different situations that arose in the book. Thanks to Mrs. Reich's class for their great work!



These are some examples of students All About Me projects that were done in 3-6 grades. Students were directed to safe sites where pictures and clipart were collected.
I also came into the labs with two files of pictures, one for favorite books and one for favorite movie, for the students to work from while they were in comic life.



These were comic life projects completed for science.


Comic life can be used for an array of projects. Here is one that I typed as a reminder for a meeting that is coming up in February.
