“We first read a children’s book by Janosch and studied the style and themes. As a project, students had to write their own comic inspired by the story and author. They needed at least six pictures with a mix of narration, thought bubbles, and speech bubbles. It had to be in the past tense in the narration, have vocabulary from the unit, and the cultural component was that it had to mimic the author´s style by using the same characters, some of the same expressions, and a similar but new theme.”
Students had the opportunity to use any technology tool or even hand draw their comics. Tools that could be used: PowerPoint, GoAnimate, StoryboardThat, OneNote, etc.
