Week 5
What are they?
Concept Cartoons are an excellent springboard for talk in any subject. They feature a range of characters offering different ideas or opinions on a given subject. The cartoons often contain common misconceptions or a controversial statement, promoting children to address these through talk and providing an ideal way for them to apply knowledge and develop understanding together, choosing which character they most agree with and why.
No talk tactics are given on screen here, so children will need to use the talk tactics they have learnt in school. The challenge is to build on what the previous person has said.
