Comic strips

I created a story "Let's go to New York" on Storybird. The website's pictures are beautiful, but I found it hard to save the pictures I wanted and used them for the story. I can use the pictures around the selected one. Students can use Storybird to create their own story. Based on students' level, it can be one sentence or a paragraph on each page. With the lovely pictures, students would be motivated to write compositions and more willing to read others' stories.



Performance Indicator
High Intermediate Language Skills Writing Indicators: Draft, organize, write and edit a short paragraph using a topic sentence, supporting details and transitions.

Assessment
Two students read each other's story and write down the structure of the paragraph and the transitions. Peer helps to revise the paragraph, including correct grammar errors and make the expression more effective. They then exchange their composition and write another paragraph to continue the story.
