The use of urban legend seems like a fine way to generate interest among a majority of students and a way to introduce a topic as well as spark class discussion. Also, a culminating assignment regarding the production of a comic strip style text is a fine way to incorporate multiple literacies and multiple intelligences into curricular objectives. I have yet to create such a project for my students. Further, I can see how such a lesson could provide closure regarding presentations for each student involved. Great idea! I’ll try it. Yours, Mr. Kal
