Empowering Multilingual Learners
![]() Today in our advanced English II class, students finished up their first comic report. In this class, students can choose from many Japanese manga, translated into English, to read in their free time. Every couple of weeks, they write about what they've been reading in their comic journals and have a written dialogue with the teacher about their comics. Occasionally, students also do a comic journal report for the class, where they share what they've been reading and learning. This time, students chose to write questions and answers for an interview with one of the comic characters they have been reading about. They wrote interviews with Naruto, from the popular ninja manga Naruto, and also Gintoki from the sci-fi/fantasy drama Gintama. We decided to take it a step further from simply writing the interviews and perform the interviews on an imaginary TV show. Students decided on the name "Comicland" for our TV show. I acted as the interviewer while students played their comic character. They did a great job!
