Make your own comic book superhero

[londone7]

i'm sure there are other versions of this
show the slides mixed with youtube clips
questions at the end they have to make their own superhero and draw a picture
i kept getting 'korea man' who fights japan but you get funny ones too like spidergirl

do you know of any programs that you can use to create your own comic strip? I think getting the students to make their own would be great and might even get the bored students involved

i only got them to draw one picture after they answered the questions, who are they, what are their powers, describe their clothes, etc
most want to draw the picture but i make them answer the questions first

Great lesson.  All the students are really eager to work at it.
