Comics and visual learners

I've just completed my first ever French lesson! I absolutely loved it but found my mind wandering a couple of times. To keep busy and focused on my learning I made a little comic strip of the conversation I needed to learn. 

Today when I taught a class watching a video about the digestistive system I suggested they wrote dot points and/or do a comic strip to remember what was being said in the video- it worked! 

It's a great strategy for visual learners too. 

I'm thinking of doing comic strips with my spelling group tomorrow too!
