Webcomics in the Classroom

My students suggest ways to use Webcomics in school:

• Use it to design Quidditch logo (use shadows and shapes) (note from Kevin: we play a version of Quidditch at our school with sixth graders)
  
• You could make a mystery poem; since there's black and white slides.
• Making a comic book project
• Make story books
• Make an end of the year book
• We could do something on how to write a poem, because everyone seems to think that they're so hard, even though they're really not (especially if you use an online rhyming dictionary).
• For writing plays
• Have a writing period where we can show what we have made in ToonDoo.
• Writing digital story books for next year
• Next year you could have an adventure comic rather than an adventure story.
• Science-mitosis
• Social Studies-Egyptians
• We could do a story on how your last year at our school was.
• We could use it in math and make toons to show how to do a certain equation.
• To make your own wanted posters on toondoo about a criminal.
• We could take any of the prompts we have wrote this year and make then into books. I also think it would be cool to make books about things we a learning to help us remember things.
• I think it would be a good idea to use it in writing class but also maybe in literature class. I think it would be fun to use in literature. 
• I think you should do a mystery comic strip poem or on the Harris Burdick story. That would be cool. You should also introduce this site to the younger kids.
• I think we can use this site for many different things for ex. you can probably use this for just an activity after MCAS and create a comic strip of what they thought of MCAS and if they thought it was easy or hard for them and that kind of stuff.
• For songs.
• Maybe we can make multiple strips and put them into a book so after each comic is done, it will be like one giant book.
• We could use it to show our favorite part of Norris School.
• We can use them with the comic book thing to create mini graphic novels and of course more poems and our freewrites in our notebooks.
• We could use them to make stories (a short story writing prompt) into a funny comic that still shows the story.
• I think we could make our own book- maybe a story about how our elementary years at Norris have been.
• I think we could use the toon do site for making a book about our favorite thing that we did in writing. :-)
