Lost Husband

     "Lost Husband" is the name of my comic strip.  It is about a woman who is looking for her husband and the person giving her directions is her husband in disguise but she does not realize this until the end of the story. .A comic strip about a  bank robbery was my first idea and that idea would have been effective as well. I wrote this story to reinforce imperative verb forms, adjectives such as "tall,"  "dark" and "handsome" and the names of places.
     After everyone is familiar with the story, it could be transformed to a skit. Students could rewrite it by changing the words to other vocabulary of the same category.  For example, names of other locations could replace "supermarket" and "school."   "Husband"  could be replaced by other words such as "wife," 'brother," "friend" or "cousin."   Students might substitute a variety of adjectives for tall, dark and handsome."
     I would  research an appropriate mapping tool for learners when they are finding the "lost husband" because  "Scribble Maps" and "Community Walk" as amazing as they are, do not seem suitable for this particular comic strip story.
     Comic strips are an ideal strategy to meet a variety of  learning objectives because there are infinite ways to implement them  in the language classroom.  I also believe that all ages and learning levels would benefit from exposure to a well written lesson plan which features comic strips.
