I spent such a fun week working with Mrs. Michaelson’s amazing students to create Super Marvel-ous Comics!

We used the Marvel create a comic generator and though it had some quirky side-effects – our saved .PDF’s didn’t look the same as what we had on our screen! Some of our backgrounds disappeared and some had extra speech bubbles that I swear weren’t there when we saved them! Maybe we should have just taken screen shots??

We had time after the comic creating & we watched & danced to the latest craze UMD Gangnam Style!
