The Adventures of Tintin


This week, the students of C.E.I.P. Lope de Vega visited took a trip over to our neighbor's, the cultural museum in Casariche.  The curators and community members have been busy putting together a piece on the Adventure of TinTin, as well as its author  Hergé.  While the exhibit was in Spanish, it was wonderful to see which cultural icons transcend language. Personally, I have some very fond memories of heading over to Powell's Books in Portland, Oregon, searching for the TinTin shelf.  Students learned the history of the TinTin comic, its evolution into the world of books, and the cultural and historical impacts of the comic.  And, obviously, we talked a lot about the new TinTin movie, a bit hit among the kids at Lope de Vega.

Check out some of our classwork, where the students wrote about TinTin and created their own comic books!
