Treasure Chest of Thoughts

Today, my own version of a sci-fi world continued as I created this cartoon strip for my World of Hollywood using ToonDoo:

Very easy to use, this cartoon strip took me just minutes to create (once I learned how to navigate the system).  ToonDoo provides many images and backdrops and literally with just a few clicks, I had this one created.

As you may recall, I created Hollywood last year using HeroMachine 2.5 for the Pre-Ap English 10’s multi-genre sci-fi project.  Just to review, Hollywood’s goal to save those innocent little fifth grade girls from the advances of the want-to-be-fifth-grade-boyfriends.  (I am probably having too much fun with this storyline!)

This, the creation of the cartoon,  is an excellent way to review punctuation of dialogue.

This year, instead of each student creating a new world, each lit circle group is creating one new sci-fi world…and, oh, the dialogue that occurs as they debate, discuss, and, sometimes, agree to disagree!  Good project for working on group dynamics!

The groups will present their final projects using Glogster, which has recently released a version for the education world.  Thank you, Glogster!  Yes, more updates on that to follow!
