Reading Comprehension Part I: Comics for Comprehension

One way I like to have students demonstrate comprehension is through comic strips.  Students will often read a Latin passage and create a set of drawings that illustrate what happened in that passage, either in Latin from the passage for the novice students or simple Latin summary sentences for more advanced students. Students can choose either to draw their own comics, or they can use online comic creators.  Some of my students download the app, bitstrips, to work on.  Others use a comics website such as bitstrips to create their comics.  Students often find it fun to look up images to use, and they can put the Latin caption right onto the comic.
