When students showcase their learning in the form of a comic strip, they "become stronger storytellers and gain confidence in their ability to be creative."

Comic strips are typically used to convey fiction stories, but the format can also be used to relate historical events, nonfiction information, and sequential instructions.

When creating a comic strip, students are intertwining language, images, chunking of information, and creativity. Students can express their learning through an engaging format that can support them with conveying information through more than just text alone. This is especially useful to those students who struggle with producing lengthy textual products to reflect the learning.
