The Cartoon Creator activity in Kidspiration provides a fun way for students to show what they have learned about a topic in almost any curriculum area and reinforce concepts with visual learning. Creating a multi-panel cartoon also challenges students to think about the most important aspects of a topic and arrange them sequentially.
This exemplar depicts the life and reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England, but the product contains another exemplar of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, in addition to a lesson plan; both of these can be accessed from the Teacher menu>Lesson Plans. A custom library of symbols called More Social Studies is also included which includes new symbols such as Elizabeth I. To use the library, copy it to a folder called "Custom Libraries" in the Kidspiration 3 folder on your computer.
