To assess reading comprehension: Making Inferences.
Address to first semester of Computer Science.
Instructions: read the following cartoons and reach conclusion from the given data. Then, write two paragraphs of five sentences each one related with the given topic.
Example:
These cartoons are related with the relation between people and electronic devices. Nowadays, people can spend a lot of time in front a computer, in my case it could be six or more hours and if I include the time using the cell phone the stimate goes up. This represent a third or more of my awake time, and that is a significative part of time. So, computer and other electronic devices are replacing our direct relationships.
We could see in the second cartoon the man whose eating companion is a computer and he is ordering "food" for it. In third cartoon the device is threatening the man because he is making mistakes recognicing it. In the first cartoon we do not know who is talking to whom, is the man snarling at the computer or is the computer snarling at him? We do not know but computers are filling important spaces in our lives.
Here you have some question guides that could help you.
What does mean the image of the box?
Is it possitive or negative thinking out of the box?
Why do people have to think out of the box?

Hi Eric
You should include students level.
Aurora, your asking two tasks in this item. Rading and writing at the same item. I think students might need more instruction if they are going to base the writing part in the pictures alone. I mean, they could be misleading you may end up testing and correcting just about everything they want to write about (lack of practicality and content validity).
