DIGITAL RESOURCES: ReadThinkWrite Comic Creator for Your Classroom


The Comic Creator provides educators with resources to help their K to 12 students develop their writing skills by composing their own comic strips for a variety of contexts (pre-writing, pre- and post-reading activities, response to literature, and etc).

The Comic Creator organizers focus on the key elements of comic strips by allowing students to choose backgrounds, characters, and props, as well as to compose related dialogue. The tool is easy to use, made even easier with the Comic Strip Planning Sheet, a printable PDF that comic creators can use to draft and revise their work before creating and printing their final comics. After completing their comic, students have the ability to print out and illustrate their final versions for feedback and assessment.
