Activity 12
• Elicit the general meaning of
Rosa Parks’ anecdote.
• Allow some time for them to
read the general meaning in the
chart and ask if they agree with
it or not. They should say that it
did not happen as described.
• Help them write the correct
general meaning in the space
provided.
• Go through the example, which
shows the comic strip.
• Ask students if it expresses the
appropriate general meaning
and which part of the anecdote
it highlights.
• Encourage them to express if
they agree with the scene and if
it is the most appropriate one to
use in the comic strip.
• Allow some time for them to
draw a comic strip about the
anecdote they selected.
• Provide some help when they
have to decide which part of the
anecdote to use.
• Ask some follow-up questions
and encourage them to give
arguments supporting
their choice.

Activity 13

• Tell students to choose a personal experience for their anecdote.
• You can decide on a common topic, so everybody shares an anecdote about the same thing (i.e. their first
day of school). You can also organize the class into teams depending on what they want to talk about.
• Make sure students are part of the decision, so that they are happy with what they will be doing in
this practice.
• Read the example with students and tell them to write the general meaning of their
own anecdote.
• Remind them to check the other examples provided in the book for the other anecdotes to get an idea of
how to compose the one for the personal experience they are going to share.
