Create your own comic strip

Found this cool tool today from ReadWriteThink: It's a Comic Creator, and it looks like a really fun way to practice vocabulary.  Students can create their own comic strips online.  What a fun way to make vocabulary teaching more dynamic! If you try it out, let me know.  I'd love to know if students enjoy this activity.

I originally found all of this from a nice blog post on another blog about teaching vocabulary. I liked this quote from their post:

Multiple-choice tests aren’t necessarily bad, but there are many other ways you can go about creating authentic assessments when determining the level of reading comprehension.  The same is true and possibly more important for evaluating vocabulary comprehension.  Retention, not just memorization, is key.
