Fotonovela Project
This trimester’s work culminated in a Fotonovela Project, which was a fun way to apply their knowledge from trimester 1 and 2 such as using tenses of the past to tell a story but also using their newly acquired skills, such as using possessives pronouns and direct object pronouns. Students let their creativity run wild, as they first wrote their dramatic stories, involving several characters in different and somewhat ridiculous predicaments. The more dramatic and silly, the better! Once their stories were ready, each student got assigned a random story from the class (which remained anonymous throughout the whole process), and had to create a visual to illustrate the story, in the form of a Fotonovela. This allowed students to use their reading comprehension skills, as they had to understand what the story they were assigned was about, but it also allowed them to let their own vision of the story come out, the way they pictured it in their minds. Finally, every student presented their creations to the rest of the class, unveiling whose story each student was assigned.
