comics

Hi Teachers,

Do your students enjoy comics?

I've just added 10 comics to my website. They were all made by students. Here they are:

www.grammarmancomic.com/sscom.html#third

This collection could be used as a fun reading activity. If you use it, could you encourage your students to leave a feedback comment for comics they like? There's an 'add comment' button at the bottom of each comic.

I'd really appreciate it, as students love to get feedback messages from other ESL students ... and I think your students would enjoy giving some constructive feedback to help others in their studies.

Thanks!

Brian

It's really vivid for the kids to do the exercises through all the images given on the STUDENTS' COMICS page. I'm loving it :wink:

I forgot to mention that there's a quiz for the students' comics, so that's another way of using the comics for a reading activity.

You can print the quiz off before class. Students can work in pairs - there are 20 questions, and 2 answers can be found in each comic.

I tried this with my class and they really enjoyed it - plus they were on task and reading for the whole session.
