Who says comic strips aren’t educational? Prove these naysayers wrong by asking your class members to create a comic strip for a selected vocabulary word. Using online technological tools that provide access to an array of options for expressions, your young scholars will craft, save, and share their comic strips that include the definition, synonyms, antonyms, and satirical devices to make the word memorable. Although designed to prepare for the SAT, AP, and other standardized exams, the approach can be used at any grade level and in any course.
