My Dvolver comic strip: Let's go shopping

The comic strip creation for this week's mod is consistent with the photo story on Animoto. For the photo story, students should focus on the vocab and expressions that could be used in an social interaction, such as shopping. For the comic strip, students should make up a relatively social conversation with characters, plot, lines and social purposes. In real classrooms, the comic strip can be used to follow the photo story, and they both are part of one bigger module or theme. Therefore, the language performance indicator for the photo story and the comic strip should be the same.

Performance indicator - ESL.1.5-8.4.1.9 
Students use appropriate vocabulary, expressions, language, routines, and interaction styles for various audiences and formal and informal social or school situations, noticing how intention is realized through language.
May Include - ESL.1.5-8.4.1.9.MI
Expressions and routines such as asking permission, making and responding to request, greeting, making promises, thanking and apologizing. Such situations include chatting with friends, participating in group discussions, greeting a principal or other adult, and making purchases.

Assessment:
Students work in pairs or groups and make comic strips together, following the rubric that the teacher creates. Pairs or groups make presentations about their comic strips to the class, followed by several questions they design for the class to answer. Through the questions, the presenters assess how much the class understands their comic strips and the teacher assess how well the presenters could perform in the social interactions they set.
