Kindergarten students in Ms. Lewis’s class at Davis Elementary have been studying rhyming words (K.1e) so today we created a class comic book of rhyming word pairs. I gave them a Comic Life template that you can download by clicking here. The students opened the template and added their name to it. Then we brainstormed rhyming word pairs and wrote them on the Promethean Board. I asked them to choose a pair to illustrate on their page. We did a Google Image Search to find the pictures, but they needed a lot of help with that, so I made a folder of images that you can use (download here). After the students added the pictures to the comic, they typed the rhyming words in the speech bubbles. Then I showed them how to change the style of the images using the Style button. We ran out of time at that point, but if you have extra time you could also show them how to change the Style of the text, the paper, and the speech bubbles. I combined their documents together into one Comic Life and saved it as a PDF (go to File > Print > PDF > Save As PDF). Then I uploaded it to Youblisher to create an online flipbook for embedding in a blog or sharing with parents. You can take a look at it here.
