"Gunnerkrigg Court, Chapter 1: The Shadow and the Robot" puppet show ...
This is Chapter 1 of the webcomic "Gunnerkrigg Court" © Tom Siddell, entitled "The Shadow and the Robot". My class of Thai students (in my learning center in Nonthaburi, Thailand) are performing a puppet show based on this comic for their parents.
Gunnerkrigg Court is one of the finest web comics on the internet and it makes an excellent resource for in-class reading to students (or for reading at home with your own children).
The story revolves around a young girl named Annie and her many adventures at a mysterious school called Gunnerkrigg Court. Children immediately identify with the main characters, Annie & Kat. Plus the spooky surroundings and strange monsters that inhabit the school quickly draw them into the story.
There are, of course, many fine webcomics available on the internet, but many are either gag-a-week comics or too adult and/or nerdy for young kids in an EFL classroom. Gunnerkrigg Court, on the other hand, is ideally suited for use in the classroom, because it scales well to any age/ability level and it encourages lots of discussion.
Since I'm reading to EFL students, I don't read the comic word-for-word. Instead I paraphrase some of the more difficult sentences and have conversations with the students about the more complex concepts and emotions in the story. Likewise, when we wrote the script for this play, we did not follow the comic exactly. Instead we used sentences that would be easier for the kids to remember. They did a great job!
