AP Spanish Language students have been reading La Casa en Mango Street (The House on Mango Street) by Sandra Cisneros in Spanish. 

As part of the review, synthesizing, and analysis process, students are creating a graphic novel representation of the story every few short chapters. After the design is made in pairs for each chapter, students then share and explain what parts of the story they chose to draw and represent, why they chose those sections as important, and how their drawings represent or analyze those parts.

This is all done in the target language: Spanish. By the end of the book, students will have created a graphic novel, and each student will get a copy of this collaborative end-product.
