Teach your students how to make a comic!

Make your own comic is a manual to help students learn about any subject in an original manner - by making their own comic.

The use of comics is particularly useful for students who are reluctant readers or who face reading challenges such as dyslexia. Writing and drawing their own stories to carry the subject at hand will engage the emotional and creative brain of students, thus enhancing engagement and information retention.

Drawn from best practices developed over the years creating my own comic books and graphic novels, this manual offers teachers and their students, regardless of their artistic ability, a fun and original resource to make learning fun and effective. The manual covers the principles of storytelling and a bagful of my personal tips and tricks on how to best construct a dynamic, educational comic book. Teachers can use this manual as a guide for their students on how to bring research into a particular subject into the story structure to make an original and compelling learning activity come to life.

Self-taught, I learned the hard way, making many mistakes along the way. Take the shortcut to success with this 18-page manual and add the art of making comic books to your array of teaching methods.
