| Title | Bilingual Comic Strip Addresses Hispanic-American Topics |
| Body | In a recent discussion on the FLTEACH listserv, many teachers of Spanish recommended using the comic strip "Baldo" as a humorous, authentic source of classroom-appropriate material. Below are two addresses where the strip can be read in English or in Spanish, followed by one teacher's summary of and recommendation for the comic. http://www.ucomics.com/baldo http://www.ucomics.com/espanol/ baldoespanol ---- "Baldo" is a Universal Press Syndicate daily comic strip in Spanish (and English) by Hector Cantú & Carlos Castellanos. Baldo Bermudez is a hispanic teen living with his father Sergio, younger sister Gracie, and paternal great aunt Tía Carmen (who moved in with her nephew when his wife died). The strip touches on prejudice, teen angst, family issues, aging, generational issues, the hispanic community, integration, etc. It is most often humorous, and occasionally quite powerful (when Baldo applied for a job at Abercrombie and Fitch a couple of years back there was little humor, but LOTS of thought provoking content for students). You can also subscribe to have the daily strip sent to you via email. Herren, D. Re: Baldo. Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv. FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU (15 Apr. 2006). |
