Bitstrips and Me

I went into my sons room to put some laundry away and saw he was working on a comic strip.  "Whatcha doin'?" I asked.  "Oh, just working on a comic strip project I have to do for English," he says.  It looked like he was having fun.  "Watch this!" he grinned.  We cracked up as he easily created different emotions and scenes with his characters.  I had to try it!  Besides, I needed a laundry break!

So, off I went to Bitstrips.  I couldn't believe how easy it was and how you could create characters and their emotions so easily.  First, I made my "character" which is translated into many avatar choices (see above).  I was having so much fun, I had to make my own comic strip.  Here it is!

How cool is that?  My head is spinning with ideas for using this next year!  It's so easy, I know third graders will be able to use it.  
If you create one, upload your link below!  Happy Creating!

I'm so excited that Teaching with Moxie is featured in this weekend's Bagels and Blogs at Math Coach's Corner.  Donna featured my Free & Easy End-of-Year Activities Link Up.  Do you have an activity to share?  Link up here.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!
