Comic Creations Book

I'm so excited! I published my first Apple Book as an Apple Distinguished Educator Class of 2023!

As a K-5 school librarian and technology coach, I know that today's students love graphic novels and creating on their iPad.  This activity combines both passions.  Using their iPad and the Keynote app, students can create their own characters and comic book stories.  

Download the COMIC CREATIONS BOOK in Apple Books HERE. The book has instructions on how to create characters, write comics, and add animations.

Download the accompanying COMIC CREATIONS WORKBOOK created in the Keynote app HERE. The workbook has features to create your characters and templates to write your own comics.

Here are some examples of CHARACTERS that were created by students:

Here are some examples of COMICS that created by students:

Since the Keynote app has amazing animation features, students can take their comics further by adding ANIMATIONS like these examples:

Share your comics on Twitter and Instagram.  Tag me and use #ComicCreations
