"I really enjoyed the project, it was fun. It was unlike other math projects. We were able to draw and create comics. I remember the vocabulary because we were allowed to be creative." Victoria
"It was great because we were able to draw. We were allowed freedom which was great because we could use humor in our comics." Ashley and Elijah
Comics that were created individually had to be in color
Comic were shared with peers
"Next time I would do more preparatory work and have a way to incorporate vocabulary earlier in the process. The time we gave the students was fairly short and this made it difficult. We realized that students needed to type rather than write the text for the comic if it was going to be clearly readable by others. The building of the story was challenging, perhaps next time we would try to partner with the Language Arts teacher. We found that students were spending time making the comic funny but not including enough content, so we needed to create a structure to help ensure we get what we are looking for. We also need to do some more support on the academic vocabulary and the acquisition of this knowledge. We would definitely do it again, combining something creative in math is difficult to incorporate standards and worth the time to build capacity in our students." Ginger Habel and Jen Naughton
