Primary source documents were the base of this technology project. Students used iPads to conduct research on a historical primary source document. Using the Comics Head app, they designed a historical cartoon to summarize their portion of the document. The students then shared and analyzed their cartoon with the class. The English Language Arts skills of summarization and plot development were integrated within this lesson, as students had to make the story they were telling fit into a 3 to 4 panel comic.
