Create a comic for learning

Hi,

Today I would like to show you an interesting tool to work in your classroom. It´s a really good way to catch the attention of the students.

In that case I have created a comic to work the relationships. Also I have related with a topic from physical education. I show to my students that a boy, who is new at school is worried because he don´t know anybody. His first day in the school is a Little hard. Little by little he meets Friends. 
Through this topic children can realice that maybe it could be difficult be new, and they can reflect on how to help. It is more attractive for pupils visual tools, also they can fell identified. We can use the avatar that we did before (as you can see in the other post).

I made a comic that I called: MY NEW SCHOOL
I used Pixton to do this. This website is very easy to use and also is free. You have to register on the page and create an account. You can find different sceneries and landscapes that you can use to create the comic. Furthermore you can choose between a wide variety of characters. Depending on what you want you can change the expressions of the face and their postures.

 There are different webs where you can make a funny comic. Some of them are the following:

 Pixton: https://www.pixton.com
Creaza: https://web.creaza.com/en/
Storyboard that:http://www.storyboardthat.com/es


To sum up I have no hesitation in recommending you the use of this tool because is very attractive for kids and you can teach and work units, values, feelings, problems, etcetera.
