I will show students my comic strip that is displayed on the smartboard to get them interested and excited. The students will be able to individually create a one page comic strip. The students will be able to add text, background and characters to their strip. The students will use a graphic organizer to plan their comic strips. I will model for the students how to create a comic strip using the different tools that are provided. I will be using the smartboard at this time so all students will be able to see. I will go over the functions of each tool, clicking and playing with each. During this time, students can ask questions that I will clarify. I will also use the think aloud strategy during this time. "I wonder what will happen if... I need to add...what should I click?" The students will all be on the marvel website, where there is a saved copy of my comic strip on their computers. Students will have the challenge of using the tools to change my comic strip in two different ways, such as: background, characters, text or sound words. The students will travel around to each computer screen to see the changes made to the comic strip that was given to them by their peers. The students will then think pair share with a partner what they did to make the changes. The students will be given time to create their own comic strips. They will have a checklist rubric, so each student can check off that text, characters, background and sounds were added to their individual comic strips.
