ReplyDeleteinteresting lesson plan.. I think the students will have so much fun creating dialog esp involving cartoons pics. ( em.. i tell u, funny and creative dialog akan mereka cipta tu;p)
ReplyDeleteI didn't see any worksheet, so it's hard to tell. But the website is cluttered. It's hard to choose and understand what the website offer. I'm easily confused by it. Hence, teacher should explain to students what is toondoo clearly. But, like the whole concept and idea that you integrate cartoon. I'm impressed!!
ReplyDeletei like this lesson... especially the part where you ask the students to come up with their own dialogue for the comic strips by integrating adjectives in the dialogue... i'm sure that it will be fun...
