Understanding In Four Panels
Drawing Brings Comprehension
Idioms, proverbs, and rhyming riddles allow students to build on their English fluency and comprehension. One technique that allows them to develop their understanding is to have them draw a cartoon strip based on the Daily Expression.
1. Write the Daily Expression on the board.
2. Read it aloud to students.
3. Discuss the Daily Expression so that students have some sense of its meaning.
4. Invite students to copy the expression on the top of their sheets of paper.
5. Tell students that their task is to create a cartoon strip that shows and includes the expression. The cartoon may emphasize the literal meaning or the correct expression. Students decide!
6. Use a Sharing Strategy once the students have finished!
