Evaluation: Make Beliefs Comix is an easy-to-use resource for creative writing exercises. While it requires some setup time to learn how to use the tool and produce a comic strip, it can bolster creativity and storytelling. There are lots of features to choose from; however, they are not easily customisable. Comic length is limited to 18 panels, which should be enough for classroom activities. In addition to English, the site accepts characters and accent marks in Spanish, French, Latin, German, Italian, Portuguese, and more.

Cost: Free.
