WEEK 8: COMIC STRIP DEVELOPMENT AND ANALYSIS

1. Describe how you developed ComicStrip activity.
I developed the ComicStrip activity by first determining the topic of the story, which was digital storytelling. I chose this topic because it would attract students' interest and meet my learning goals. I then wrote the outline and dialogues, ensuring the story was fluent and understandable. I selected and drew visuals to support the story, making sure they were educational and interesting. Using digital tools like Storyjumper, I created the story digitally, which made it more interactive and visually rich. After completing the story, I received feedback from my peers and teacher, which I used to edit and improve the story.
2. Do you think that the story of the ComicStrip and your learning objectives are parallel?
Yes, the story of the ComicStrip and my learning objectives are parallel. The ComicStrip was designed to teach the elements and process of digital storytelling, which aligns with my learning objectives. For example:
• Learning Objective: Students will understand the key elements of digital storytelling.
• ComicStrip Story: The characters learn about storytelling elements like characters, setting, and plot.
• Learning Objective: Students will be able to create a storyboard for their digital story.
• ComicStrip Story: The characters create their own storyboards, demonstrating the process.
• Learning Objective: Students will engage in peer review and provide constructive feedback.
• ComicStrip Story: The characters share their stories and receive feedback, reflecting the peer review process.
3. Describe how you integrated content knowledge into the lesson plan through ComicStrip.
I integrated content knowledge into the lesson plan through the ComicStrip by ensuring the information used in the story was accurate and up-to-date. The ComicStrip covered various aspects of digital storytelling, such as explaining concepts, showing examples, selecting topics, mind mapping, gathering information, validating sources, drafting scripts, peer review, creating storyboards, using templates, collecting media, creating media, using digital tools, combining elements, editing the story, feedback and revision, presenting the stories, publishing online, reflecting on the process, and providing feedback. This comprehensive approach ensured that the lesson plan was rich in content knowledge and aligned with the learning objectives.
4. Write at least 5 prompt examples with interaction/feedback from ChatGPT that you used in your conversations with ChatGPT specifically related to ComicStrip activity.
• Prompt: "Can you help me create a ComicStrip storyline that introduces the concept of digital storytelling to 5th graders?"
•  ChatGPT Response: "Absolutely! How about a story where a group of students discovers a magical book that brings their stories to life? They learn about the elements of storytelling, such as characters, setting, and plot, as they create their own digital stories using a special tablet."
•  Prompt: "What are some engaging ways to depict the process of brainstorming ideas for a digital story in a ComicStrip?"
• ChatGPT Response: "You could show the characters sitting in a circle, sharing their favorite stories and discussing what makes them interesting. One character could suggest using a mind map to organize their ideas, and another could propose a fun brainstorming game to spark creativity."
3. Prompt: "How can I illustrate the importance of storyboarding in a ComicStrip for 5th graders?"
•  ChatGPT Response: "You could create a scene where the characters are struggling to organize their story. Then, a teacher character introduces them to storyboarding, showing how it helps plan the sequence of events. The characters could then create their own storyboards, making the process look fun and manageable."
4. Prompt: "What are some tips for making a ComicStrip that teaches 5th graders about gathering and creating media for their digital stories?"
• ChatGPT Response: "Show the characters going on a 'media scavenger hunt,' where they collect images, record sounds, and take videos. Include tips on using their own drawings and recordings to make their stories unique. Emphasize the importance of using high-quality media and respecting copyright rules."
5. Prompt: "Can you suggest a way to end the ComicStrip on a positive note while reinforcing the lesson on digital storytelling?"
• ChatGPT Response: "End with the characters presenting their digital stories to the class. They receive positive feedback and feel proud of their work. The teacher could then summarize the key points of digital storytelling and encourage the students to continue creating stories. This reinforces the lesson and leaves the students feeling accomplished."

Before starting the topic, I will briefly talk about what I learnt from the course and the difficulties I encountered and try to explain what I learned with the help of the videos I watched. I have learnt the importance of integrating Web 2.0 tools in education and how to use these tools with the right strategies. I believe that this knowledge will help me to develop more effective and interactive methods in education. In particular, I have realised the importance of selecting the tools that suit the needs of the students and implementing these tools step by step. However, I face some difficulties in determining which tools are the most appropriate and learning how to use these tools in the best way in my lessons. These difficulties are minor difficulties caused by using any web 2.0 tool for the first time or not fully understanding how to use it.
