Here are a few 8th grade Georgia Performance Standards shown using Comic Life Software. My Comic Life example covers the three principal individuals in Georgia's earliest phase of the Colonial Period - Tomochichi, James Oglethorpe, and Mary Musgrove.
I think I personally employed all 6 levels of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy when I selected and researched the historic figures, selected images, and then created narrative and plausible dialogue. Showing historical events and people in Comic Life will be a worthwhile assignment for secondary students. It will take time and effort to summarize the material and put together a strong graphic representation. The software itself is extremely user-friendly and I expect the students will be a lot faster putting together the final product that I was! I am ready for my next Comic Life project!

Jean, your CL looks great and very useable in the classroom. I've told everyone that I want to print them and use them as a clasroom resource. My second graders are learning about famous
Georgian and Tomochichi (fun to say) is one that we are studying. I can't waint to share;)
Excellent job, Jean. I love how you incorporated so much information but without it looking cluttered ... I agree with your post about it being an excellent secondary project!
