Flash animations for use in the English class, also offered as downloadable zip files to enable those classrooms without Internet connections ( or low-bandwidth) to use them. Topics range from Environmental issues such as Global Warming to songs, such as What a Wonderful Life. Many, though not all are geared for higher levels.
Make Beliefs Comix
This is a fun site "where children and adults can create their own comic strips. They can select
from 10 fun characters with different moods -- happy, sad, angry, worried – and
write words for blank talk and thought balloons to make their characters
talk and think. There also are story ideas and prompts to help users create
graphic stories.
This site can be used by educators to teach language, reading and writing
skills, and also for students in English-as-a-Second-Language programs to
facilitate self-expression and storytelling."
