● How did you organise the groups?

I split the class into two groups, although just one of them did the activity because the other one has troubles.

● What was the sequence of tasks that you followed to get to the final product?

First of all, I taught them how to use Pixton. Then, I told them to create their own comic with a real situation of our class, for that reason, they decided to use a normal conversation between them and I. I encouraged them to be creative and use plain vocabulary like a normal conversation has.

● What were the specific learning objectives for this activity? How did the use of the tool help the learners achieve these objectives? Please be specific and give concrete examples.

- To learn a new way of writing, not the traditional one with pen and paper.

- To be creative.

- To use an authentic situation of our everyday.

- To feel that writing in English it can be something funny.

● In what ways (be specific) was creativity and the use of imagination encouraged in your students?

Using new technologies to learn something new give my students the feeling that they are not studying, they feel like they are playing instead. Overall, when we are using creative tools which encourage them to do everything is an easy way.

● What did your students enjoy most / least about this activity?

They enjoyed that the activity was interactive and wasn't difficult, the problem was the other group had troubles with their internet connection at home and, for that reason, they couldn't do it.

● What would you change next time?

I will prepare the activity with more time, and my students will be able to do it in the class and not at home.

● How were the finished projects shared with the rest of the class?

I showed them in the class with the digital board.

● What opportunities were there for students to co-evaluate and discuss the learning experience with each other?

They really appreciated the effort that the group did, firstly with the brainstorming, to get the idea. Then, with the use of this new tool and the use of vocabulary and simple structures.
