They worked in pairs for this activity. It has been the first time they have used this tool, so I presented them the task and gave them an example which I did myself and explained briefly how to use the different options given by the programme.
Lately we've been practising the structure "have/get something done" and the purpose of this activity was to use this structure in context.
In pairs they created their story and afterwards at home they took turns to create the characters and insert the text, pay attention to their facial expressions, movements, etc. Finally, they have shown their comic to the whole group role-playing the situations whenever possible.
As I see it, the tool has been an extra activity to assimilate this new structure to them, basically, they have seen the structure in a context created by them and being engaged in a project. This motivates them even more. And the presentations were great, even with the intonation and expressions.
They enjoyed most the role-playing part, and they stated that the part of making the story up was a bit more complicated, but as they were working in pairs, this was a bit easier.
Next time I'll try working with bigger groups.
