This is a lesson that I originally found here. It has gone through many iterations. You can see the progression of these on my sister blog Infinitely Teaching if you want a paper version of this project. I love this project because students have to take the transformation words and work them into their comic. They also use the transformation tools inside drawing or slides to actually transform their superhero. This year we created Bitmojis and used those in combination with the Jachimo template from SlidesCarnival or template from the ever wonderful Sylvia Duckworth and my students loved it more than they ever have before. It’s amazing what adding a personalized Bitmoji will do for student engagement.
Here is the example I gave my students. We also had a quick exploratory lesson about how to transform the Bitmojis through the arrange menu (or 2 finger click or key command) and a quick lesson on how to crop and mask images.
I was even more impressed after my students submitted their projects.
I’ve included the template I gave my students but they weren’t limited to these templates. They had the freedom to create their comics however they saw fit. Remember, giving students choices will make them own their learning more.
Template to create your own (make a copy to edit it)
Please, if you use any of the provided templates, credit the correct person. SlidesCarnival is a wonderful resource and Sylvia has taken a lot of time to put her slide deck together as well.
As always, drop me a note if you use this project. I love to hear from teachers who find these projects useful.
Make Math Not Suck 
I love this idea, and I want to do it for my 8th graders, but how do you create a Superhero Bitmjoi?

You can find some super hero outfits in the Bitmoji app. Some of my students just make crazy outfits that fit their character. It’s have also allowed students to draw their own if they want to. You can use remove.bg to make a scan of their drawing transparent.
