“Comics are the gateway to literacy”
David Kracov
During these months we have been discovering TINTIN, the character that gives name to our class. We read comics and watched the film
“Castafiore’s jewels” and we discovered quite a lot about the characters. We have identified the main characters in the series and we have discussed their physical and psychological characteristics. We remembered the structure of descriptions and we wrote the descriptions in Catalan.
When we found the same texts translated into English we realized that we were able to recognise some useful words just by comparing the Catalan and the English texts. Some words are very similar!
With our vocabulary a bit bigger we faced a challenge… Could we write a description in English? Could the classmates recognise the characters?
We thought about all the comic characters that we knew and, following a template, we wrote our texts… In English!
Our favourite part was when we read our classmates’ texts! Some texts were very easy but others were very difficult to read!
We realized that when we write it is important to take into account not only the content but also the presentation, especially if another person has to read it.
Do you want to try? Look at the image, read the texts and try to guess the character!
