Comics: another way to write in English

Today's assignment was to create a comic strip in English using shareware available from Make Beliefs Comix (http://www.makebeliefscomix.com/comix.php).

Here is a brief quote from Bill Zimmerman (the creator of MBC) on the educational value of his shareware:
"Our best educators...understand that playing is learning...For those who teach...English as a second language, [Make Beliefs Comix] can be an invaluable tool in achieving [the] objectives. By writing dialogue for comic strips, students can practice using new vocabulary words, engage in make-believe conversations, practice writing sentences, hone storytelling skills, and work independently or collaboratively. Students in ESOL and literacy programs enjoy printing out the comics they create -- doing so validates their hard-won efforts."

My students were asked to link their comic strip to either their web page or their blog. Click on the links below to view the results:
