This first comic in our 2009-10 gallery is by Adia in Kelly Rawson’s grade 9 English class at St. Peter’s Secondary School. The assignment was to create a comic about a scene or conflict in A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
This one is an excerpt from a story by Julia in Ginette Ferrigni’s grade 7 class at Holy Family Catholic Elementary School. As Ms. Ferrigni explains: “This past month we have been creating graphic mystery stories and have used [Bitstrips for Schools] to bring to life the students’ final drafts.”
This comic is by Alexandra in Jennifer Rossi’s class at Our Lady of Providence Catholic Elementary School. Jennifer says, “I love this comic because it has a wonderful message about keeping our earth clean!”
Here’s a creative illustration of a scene from the novel ‘Z is for Zachariah’, done by Maggie in Megan Perry-Jamieson’s class at Riverside Public School.
This cute comic is by Kevin in Krista Keirstead’s grade 1 class at Oak Ridges Public School. Krista explains: “The expectation was that he create a comic that flows sequentially and has text. I feel he did an amazing job. Kevin is 6 years old!”
This one is a funny send-up of a TV show by Beatrix, a grade 3 student in Mrs. Werner’s class at St. Bonaventure Catholic School.
Another submission from St. Bonaventure, this comes from Michelle in Marla Zupan’s grade 7 class. It’s inspired by Gordon Korman’s novel, MacDonald Hall.
Here’s a submission by Jared in Farah Slimati’s Core French class at Earnscliffe Senior Public School. “As a final task students had to create an interview with a famous person and include all the learning they acquired through our unit on professions. This student followed the criteria specified in the activity and was very creative with the person he chose to have the interview with.”
This random but very funny comic is by Wesley in Lorraine Boros’s class at Byron Northview School, made as part of the My Life as a Comic activity.
Here’s an adaption of a scene from the book ‘Pip: The Story of Olive’ by Kaylin in Gina Berlingieri’s class at St. Mary’s French Immersion Catholic School.
This is a simple but funny strip by Ethan in Kary Lowry’s class at Rockwood Centennial Public School. Ms. Lowry notes, “I think Ethan was able to express the true angst of being a teenager.”
This comic is by Kevin in Westmore Smith’s grade 4 French class at Shoreham Public School. It’s Kevin’s first year learning French! Mr. Smith says, “The assignment was to write a comic strip using vocabulary used in the thematic units I taught in class. This comic expresses the personal experience of [Kevin's] day in school and uses the vocabulary accurately. Many students in his class commented on how realistic this comic was.
Last but not least, students in Kerry Carlyle’s class at Huron Centennial Schools were asked to create a ‘twisted version’ of a Shakespearean scene. This is her student Allison’s funny take on King Lear.
A HUGE thank you to every teacher who sent us their students’ amazing work from this year. We wish we could have fit every single one!
