The excellent Graphic Novel telling course that Fred Curatolo offers, allows students to challenge their Social Studies skills and understanding of global issues as an active citizen in our ever changing globalizing world. The course allowed students to be engaged and responsible to play different roles in our world and allowed them to understand the global impact they have in our world. They played roles as a CEO, factory worker, activist, consumer, and many more roles that influence the global economy.
My class is a French Immersion Social Studies class and the students participated and worked both in English and French, students were able to enthusiastically participate either way. Fred Curatolo allowed students to be enlightened on many issues and allowed them to have a greater understanding and knowledge on the Social Studies issue of globalization. Students were able to write their essays more in depth and apply the knowledge that Fred Curatolo taught them to their work.
