We just finished reading
Charlotte's Web, by E. B. White. To complement the book, we made a collaborative slide show. Each of the twenty-two chapters got a summary slide. Students worked in pairs to create each summary slide. Cartoons helped tell the story!
First, students picked a chapter. Then they went to
Scholastic's Charlotte's Web Make-Your-Own Comic. It is fabulous!
Once there, students picked a layout. We recommend template two.
In addition, two comic cells per slide looks best.
There are many comic options. For example, there are characters, objects, settings, and speech bubbles. Students clicked and dragged the items that went with their chapter. The funniest item was the pile of manure that Wilbur adored to lay in. :-)
Students took screen shots of their comic cells and then inserted the screen shots in the collaborative Google slide show.
Behold! Our Collaborative slide show!
After learning how to make a web, we decided to make one in our room! How did we make this web?

If you want to be clever, leave a comment from the point-of-view of a character. :-) Great idea, Michael.
