Activity Overview


Students can demonstrate their knowledge about a particular country by creating a 10-cell narrative storyboard that answers prompts with pictures and text. For this activity, students can choose a character to represent a tour guide for the country. Their character will relay important facts about the country such as its name, a typical greeting, location, flag, capital, traditional food, local customs and traditions, traditional music, popular tourist destinations, and a typical farewell. In this way, students can focus on interesting and important facts about a country while having fun taking a "virtual tour" with a tour guide! Their character can be themselves, or a person from the country.

Students will be able to get creative by giving their character a name and relating facts through dialogue (speech bubbles) in addition to the description boxes. They should include landscapes, towns, or cityscapes that resemble their country, symbols, flags, and other designs and items relevant to the country. Teachers can assign countries to students, or have them choose from a predetermined list.
