I had a very enhancing experience at the BRAZTESOL conference in São Paulo. It was equally exciting and productive. I have learned how to use a couple of online tools and I think any ESL/EFL teacher could use them to engage language learners in creative mini projects. I would like to share the one I have tried with my students and which was very rewarding:
Online Comics Generator: http://www.makebeliefscomix.com/ The students had to choose as many characters as they wanted, give them a "mood", add a thought or a talk balloon and create a story. The results were of great fun. Here is a picture of the characters one can find when accessing the site.
Enjoy it!
