Project work (Writing a short story using present progressive)

As part of the final asks assigned to my students was to write a short story and also include illustrations, they were free to write whatever they want, far animals, friends, super heroes anything they liked it as long as they use the grammar structure of present progressive to describe what it is happening in the scene. Most of them made an effort to accomplished the task with A++, based on the products they delivered, it can be seen the time they invested and the creativity they had to present such a great work.
What I liked about this task is that most of the students were very motivated to carry out this activity because they love drawing, so it was a good idea to take advantage of their skills, the enthusiasm they showed during the process. I guided during the process and helped with editing or by making corrections to let them know something was missing or needed to be removed. Some of the scenes were cute and loved the ones that used their mother tongue as part of the vocabulary as I sometimes do in the classroom for empathy. This is an example of what a student wrote (Fish drinking “já”, já means water). Hope you all like them.
