Character Writing Pixtons

Several weeks ago, we started working on a writing task- we had to create 3 different characters and then write a story about them. This task was called Character Writing. Once we finished creating our characters (one boy two girls) We were instructed to write a short story about our characters.

This term, as part of UOI, we are studying Graphic Novels, so Miss Glubb told us that we would be creating our own Graphic Novel based on our story using Pixton, a comic creator. It was very fun playing around and creating our characters in the graphic world, seeing what you imagined coming to life before your eyes. We have also been studying other topics such as Special Person and Special Place. Here is a powerpoint of some of the Graphic Novels.
