Can creating comics help students understand Shakespeare?

A university study found that students who created comics with Pixton achieved higher academic outcomes and developed more positive attitudes toward learning Shakespearean drama than students taught with traditional methods.

When students transform complex texts into visual stories, they don't just read the material—they make meaning from it.

I love making my personalized tumblers each year for my students.
The word clouds, are all adjectives their peers wrote about them.
I use @Pixton for our class photo, that special touch.
