They started with a blank Comic Life document.   I showed them how to add a fancy title and change the style, then they dragged over six panels. I gave them a folder of pictures to use that you can download by clicking <a href=\"http:\/\/teachers.henrico.k12.va.us\/staffdev\/clough_d\/ITRTFiles\/45Spring2014\/2ndChinaPics.zip\">here<\/a>. They added 5 pictures of their choice and then took pictures of themselves for the 6th panel. I showed them how to change the style of the photos to make them look more comic-like. Finally we added speech bubbles, and the students typed in sentences to give facts about each picture. I combined all their comics together into one comic book and published online <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flipsnack.com\/AA7AC6EC5A8\/fu95glqa\">here<\/a>. If you are studying ancient China, there are lots of great resources online.  You can watch a video about how they invented gunpowder <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mqHVRgCkCDE&#038;list=FL6fxhWLYDSmS-1YJjDMo08\">here<\/a>.  You can take a virtual tour of the Great Wall and see a panoramic view of it <a href=\"http:\/\/www.airpano.com\/360Degree-VirtualTour.php?3D=China-Great-Wall\">here<\/a>.
