Throws: 'A bad score speaks more poorly of you than me'

What do you think of what the student says in this vignette Lobaton Eve? What does a failing grade for you? Who (is) is wrong? Why? You know well the criteria used to qualify you in this class? Do you agree with these criteria?

Potential educational applications

     Back to School
     Cultural Perspectives: The scores and criteria
     Grammar: Subjunctive ("I hope you are ...")
     ACTFL 21st Century Skills: Initiative and Self-Direction, Productivity and Accountability

instructions

     1. Look at the cartoon and tries to interpret the text with the help of visual context.
     2. Talk to your peers about cultural perspectives revealed in the images.
     3. Reflect on the theme suggested in the worksheet.
     4. Write something imaginative and original related to the topic.
     5. Check your composition with your teacher and your classmates.
     6. Post it. Send me your suggestions: exemplary, student-products.


     Sometimes we find it difficult to be creative when writing, especially when trying to write something original in a foreign language. So I created this series of creative writing activities, entitled Drop to write!, Which uses the comics for inspiration.
