I posted a link to StoryboardThat on Google Classroom so the students could access it easily, and once we arrived at the site, we clicked &#8220;Create a Storyboard.&#8221; To find backgrounds that relate to ancient Egypt, we clicked the &#8220;Historical&#8221; tab and scrolled to the end. There are also ancient Egyptian characters under the &#8220;Classical Era&#8221; tab. I showed the students how to customize the characters&#8217; skin, eyes, hair, clothing, and poses. Then we added &#8220;Textables,&#8221; or speech bubbles, and the students typed complete sentences with facts about ancient Egypt. I put a word bank on the board to help with spelling: pharaoh, hieroglyphics, pyramid, Nile, papyrus, mummy, etc. Since you have to be 13 to have an account and save your comics on StoryboardThat, we saved our work by taking a screenshot of it (Dell Start icon > Snipping tool). Finally we uploaded our comics to Google classroom and posted a question for our classmates to answer.  You can see some student samples <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/103cdJ4BLmkK23TlMfUM3chEJUtUwGNwpuJ9CEKp7ORI\/pub\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Second graders at Holladay Elementary are learning about ancient Egypt and its contributions (SOL2.1) so today students in Ms. Brown&#8217;s class created comics about ancient Egypt using StoryboardThat.
