instructional materials is that they are highly visual, which

Another benefit of using comic strips as instructional

materials is that they can help to foster creativity and
critical thinking skills. By creating their own comic strips,
students are encouraged to think creatively and to think
outside the box, which can help to build their problem-
solving and critical thinking skills.
