Comics

My Oral test topic for my Junior three (ninth graders) is to create comic poster. I gave them a topic and they have to draw 10 pictures and write the shortest sentence that people can be understood.

I divide this work into pair work. Some of the groups put a lot of effort and some other groups did not even put any efforts. This class, J3E, they put a lot of effort into this test. This is my best class and the best project ever seen in my life. I am very happy with them. they did a great job!

This is the piece of work from Shaiya and Amy. They did a picture of the train. The story behind is the father of the girl in the story is working in a train station, he earned a lot of money, but until one day, the girl's family became poor. The girl was thinking how to help her family. She wanted to study harder and harder to be able to college and earn money. She said, "Dad do not worry, I will make money for you." That is meaningful story.

Mr. Happy's Adventure is also a fun story of a man who is traveling all over, he did not have any girlfriend. Even he is traveling all over, but he always felt lonely. Until one day, he met a girl who wants to be his girlfriend. Mr. happy is so happy forever.


A pig father and the pig baby went for a walk one day. the baby pig saw 10 dollars and 5 dollars coin. He asked his father if he could pick up the money. The father answered, "Which one would you pick up, the five or the ten?" The baby said 10 of course. He picked up the money and he contributed to his class at his school. I though this is a cool learning story.

One young person always wanted to live in a dark. He is always sad, he always wanted to kill people, but until one day, he discovered himself that he is very valuable in this life. From that time, his life changed completely.

This is also a nice story of two girls that after graduating from high school, they did not see each other. One day, they met accidentally. They were chatting and they were happy ever since.

This poster is very political. This theme is very similar to the Chinese diplomat came to Taiwan. At that time, they met problems.

When people forget something in their lives, they have to learn how to apologize or say sorry. No excuse is good when you hurt somebody. I think this is a good learning lesson for all of students.
