Cartoon
Teachers can use cartoons to teach different learning styles. Creating different cartoons for different scenarios can be used in an activty. Some students are able to look at a cartoon and understand what the picture is saying. Group projects can be used as cooperative learning. Students can come up with their own cartoon then challenge the other students to talk about it. Teachers can also ask open-ended questions that pertain to the picture. Getting feedback from the students will be the most interesting part. Everyone will have a different answer. Watching a student process information and giving them the time to answer the question is what its all about. Designing my cartoons was a lot of fun. I try to keep everything that I do simple because of the field and the children I have chosen to work with. Working with special needs children is a challenge. Finding out what excites and motivates them will be a year long work in progress. I think using cartoons will prove successful in my classroom.
