Makebeliefscomix is ideal for students that struggle with communication. For example, students with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) can benefit from more visual and less direct forms of communication. By using this website they avoid being exposed to various social cues they might find confusing and, also, thanks to the various options found on the websites, may find drawings that are in line with their specific interests.
Present a story to the students but do not tell them the ending. Then, ask them to create a comic strip about how they think a story may end. Finally, they can illustrate their predictions and share them on the online google classroom.
