Creative writting production in the English Classroom.

We know writing production is not the favorite part of the learning process for children, fot that reason it is specially difficult to find interesting and funny ways to motivate them to write in english.

As I said before in the Blog, from my point of view the creativity should be present in the whole learning process. For that reason, I am goint to use this post to talk about the creativity in the writing production.

I use a website that can be a really helpful tool for improving our children writing production and also their motivation to the english language. The page http://www.playcomic.es gives the students the opportunity to create their own comic, choosing the characters, the stage, the ballons, the objects, speciall efects and, of course, writing the story.


The website is easy to navigate and understand. It is stimulating and interesting for children. It has, also, an area fot the teachers where you can find educational suggestions with different versions of the game: Finish the comic, paint a situation, dramatize a comic, fill the ballons... For example, if the teacher wants to practice also the oral comprehension, he can use the game "Listen the dialog and create a cartoon".

It can be used at the classroom and at home, you can save the comic and continue later or even you can print it if you have finished. This aspect is really helpful for the learning process, it can be difficult to create a whole story in english in only one lesson, for that I think that in this activity it is also important to give the students time to think the story, the characters, how to tell the story in english, discuss it in group, make questions to the teacher, etc.

In conclusion, I think the "Paint a Comic" page is a really useful tool for the english classroom, the students can be creative and design their own story in a really easy and funny way. All of this will improve our children motivation on the english learning process.

Here I let you an example of comic that I made for the english classroom!
