Stripgenerator

SATs

Today I stumbled across this tool called Stripgenerator whilst looking through my Google reader.   There seem to be a lot of flash based comic book creators out there at the moment and I’ve already blogged about Comiqs.   I decided that I’d follow the same sort of format and allow the children a complete carte blanche to see what they came up with.

I was really pleased with the results, within minutes the children had started to come up with all sorts of wild and wacky stories that were really creative.   I thought that this could be a really useful stimulus for the start of a creative writing lesson.   The children would have three pannels that effectively have the beginning middle and end of a story.

your StripGenerator hyperlink ends in a “t”

Thanks Daniel , thats what happens when you’re rushing to get something down I suppose. I’ve sorted it out now so the link should work.

Thanks for the link. I’m a big fan of comic strips in the classroom, not only as creative projects but as a learning tool. I use them to help teach history and even math skills. I found some great ebooks at http://www.dedicatedteacher.com that helped me incorporate comics into my lessons, and I haven’t looked back since.
