Comic Life

I really enjoyed working with the digital pictures and the comic life. I thought it was a really cool program and now I want it for myself at home! I thought that doing sentence/grammar work was going to be really boring, but thanks to all of the new technology that weʻve been using recently, it made doing sentence work really fun. Not only was it fun to take pictures that depicted our sentences, but I also learned a lot from it. Before doing this activity, I had forgotten what simple, compound, and complex sentences were. I had learned what they were back in freshmen year but I had completely forgotten. When we started to try and think of sentences that we could depict in pictures, me and Aaron were really confused about independent clauses, dependent clauses, and predicates. So it took us a while to figure out the sentences we were going to work on. But we eventually figured it out after asking Mr. Watson for help. During and after we took pictures, I started to learn even more about sentence making and now Iʻm much more confident about writing sentences. Iʻm a very visual learner, and so this type of exercise helped me learn a lot more effiently and effectively. If we did fun activities such as these more often to help us learn, I will definitely learn better. If only all classes were this fun! Haha.

Iʻm pretty sure that everyone in my class enjoyed this activity. It was really fun taking pictures because it was unlike anything else I have ever done in a class. I hope to do more fun things with technology in the near future!
