Differentiation

= How Do Comics Support Differentiation? =

Looking at the Seven Different Learning Styles, here's how comics could be implemented for differentiation in learning for students:

||= ** Definition ** ||= ** How Could Comics Aid in This Learning Style? ** || ||= Prefer using pictures, images, and spatial understanding. ||= By using comics, students would be able to visually present their knowledge of content. || ||= Prefer using sound and music. ||= After completing the comic, students can orally present their comics to the class and discuss their choices for presentation. || ||= Prefer using words, both in speech and writing. ||= As comics are created, students will have to condense their thoughts into the writing to get their full point across. || ||= Prefer using your body, hands and sense of touch. ||= When working in groups with comics and in using peer review sessions, students will move from group to group to obtain varied knowledge of the same content. || ||= Prefer using logic, reasoning and systems. ||= When creating a comic within a group, students must use logic and reasoning to accurately present their objective in the condensed amount of space within a comic. || ||= Prefer to learn in groups or with other people. ||= Comics can be created within groups to reflect a collaboration of creativity. || ||= Prefer to work alone and use self-study. ||= Comics can be created individually to show individual creativity. || Source: [|http://www.learning-styles-online.com/overview] Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences Below is a comic based off of Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, and how they can be used in comics education.
