My 5th graders are very imaginative. They were inspired by the Jack Smith detective story in our textbook, and they worked in groups to come up with their own comics. I really loved the process, even though they seemed to want more time. They did manage to finish according to schedule, however, which was lovely (apart from 5 students who were not able to cooperate fast or well enough, and so in the end they didn’t produce their own story). Here is a video I made with all their efforts.
