Final Activity Using Pixton:
Activity Title: "Create Your Own Comic Strip – English Conversations"
Objective:
- The objective of this activity is to encourage students to practice English conversation skills while using a creative, fun tool to visualize the dialogue. This helps them develop writing, speaking, and critical thinking skills in English.

Assessment Criteria:
- Proper use of English grammar and phrases.
- Creativity and originality in the comic.
