REVIEW
MakeBeliefsComix.com is a free tool for teachers to encourage students to express themselves through writing and creating their own comic strips. The site offers fun
animal and human characters with different moods, thought and talk balloons to fill in with words, and story prompts. It can be used by educators to teach language, reading and writing skills, and also for students in English-as-a-Second-Language programs to facilitate self-expression and storytelling, as well as computer literacy. Parents and children can create stories together, print them to create comic books or email them to friends and family. It is a learning tool that is just plain fun!
