Comics

Image based storytelling is a powerful educational tool, combining story and information simultaneously, and more effectively, than any other medium.

 

 

  • Comics bring popular culture into the classroom and support and scaffold literacy.
  • Comics are stronger learning tools than text books:the brain processes images 60,000 times faster than it processes text.
  • Creating comics improves literacy, story telling (narrative), engagement and motivation. It also requires a solid understanding of the subject. Comics improve drawing, computer and research skills.
  • Sometimes pictures can tell a story more effectively than words.
  • Comics are fun!
