Individual observation
Ask learners to observe the comic strip individually. Ask them what the pictures suggest; learners should write the answer individually. You can decide to use a minimum amount of words and/or a given set of words to describe the comic strip.
Group sharing
Once learners are ready ask them to meet in small groups – or create them yourself – to comment on what they have written, and to reach a common conclusion.
Prepare ahead of time a set of points that learners may use to provide comments during the group part.
SUMMING UP
As learners repeat the activity, you should notice improvement in the models, as a result of an improved communication between them.
