[Icvv] Photo novels

[David Rosen]

Virtual Visit Colleagues,

Here's an idea for your matched classes:

Go to http://www.photonovel.ca/photonovels.htm

Stream or download one of the three (Canadian-developed) basic  
English photo novels, and have your students discuss it with students  
from the class you are matched with.

The first photo novel is on the problems of intercultural dating. The  
second is on eating nutritiously, and the third is on pollution.

You could ask students to consider, among other things:

1. What is the problem portrayed in this photo novel?
2. Is this a problem here where we live? Is the problem the same as  
in the photo novel or is it different in some way?
3. How could you get more information about the problem?
4. Would you like to make a photo novel? If so, what is the issue or  
problem you would like it to address?

Please let us know if you think this is a good idea and if you plan  
to try it.
