COMLITERICKS App
In development
A student-facing space for creating stories while learning how literature works.
The COMLITERICKS App is being developed as the flagship student-facing product of COMLITERICKS™. Its purpose is to make literary principles active: students will create, compare, read, interpret and revise through story worlds that can include comics, books, manga, animation and other narrative forms.
The app is a concept in development. The student experience, features and final interface may evolve.
Planned experience
Learn by making
The story itself becomes the learning environment.
Learn literary principles
Meet concepts such as characterization, symbolism, foreshadowing, point of view, suspense and theme inside real narrative decisions.
Compare forms
Explore how the same idea behaves differently in prose, comics, manga, animation and other story formats.
Reflect and revise
Explain why a creative choice works, identify the evidence or principle behind it, and revise with purpose.
In development
Guiding principle
Engagement is the doorway. Literacy development is the destination.
The app is intended to preserve the core COMLITERICKS principle: visual narrative and creative production should accelerate access to literacy, not replace reading, evidence or independent thought.
