Today they made a comic book to review the different parts and their functions. The students could chose whether they wanted to illustrate an animal or a plant cell. They started by drawing the cell and its organelles in Pixie.  Then they exported it as a PNG file and dragged it into a Comic Life document.  Next they used the speech bubbles to make each part of the cell &#8220;talk&#8221; and describe its function.  I stressed to them the importance of writing complete sentences with correct grammar and spelling. Then they did a Google Image search and found a photo of a plant or animal to accompany their cell diagrams.  They also used the built-in webcam to take a picture of themselves to add to their comic.  I combined all the pages together into one document, saved it as a PDF, and uploaded it to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youblisher.com\">Youblisher<\/a>.    Youblisher is a site like <a href=\"http:\/\/flipsnack.com\">Flipsnack<\/a> that allows you to upload PDFs and it publishes them as online flipbooks.
