[|Comic Creator] The Comic Creator invites students to compose their own comic strips for a variety of contexts (prewriting, pre- and postreading activities, response to literature, and so on). The organizers focus on the key elements of comic strips by allowing students to choose backgrounds, characters, and props, as well as to compose related dialogue (shown at left). This versatile tool can be used by students from kindergarten through high school, for purposes ranging from learning to write dialogue to an in-depth study of a formerly neglected genre. The tool is easy to use, made even easier with the Comic Strip Planning Sheet, a printable PDF that comic creators can use to draft and revise their work before creating and printing their final comics. After completing their comic, students have the ability to print out and illustrate their final versions for feedback and assessment (Description taken from site). Students are able to use their imaginations to creatively play with reading and writing. This is a very fun way for students to show what they can do and be themselves while learning. This activity can be used as presentation or drill and practice software. It is easy to use, the directions take students step by step, it can be used for all age groups, and the topics that can be covered are endless
