So, I’ve been playing with Bit Strips – what a fun tool for students to create comics for many purposes in the classroom. Here is one application – a comic strip for story sequencing. An example of a beginning, middle and end re-tell of The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats is right here: Snowy_Day_by_Pam Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments section. So much fun and so many possibilites!
The Objective: Students will demonstrate comprehension of story by re-telling the sequence of events in order.
This product would align with the following AASL Standards:
- 1.1.7 Summarizing or retelling key points
- 3.1.3 Use writing and speaking skills to communicate new understandings effectively
- 4.1.3D Retelling stories using the correct sequence of events.
