READING COMPREHENSION
Esto nos lleva a un artículo de periódico de The Washington Post, bajo el título “Researchers have
found a majorproblem with ‘The Little Mermaid’ and other Disney movies”, donde se exponen estas
críticas en más detalle y contrastadas con estadísticas reales. Se divide el texto en 4 partes, puesto
que es bastante largo, y a los alumnos en grupos de 4, por lo que cada alumno en cada grupo tiene
un trozo del artículo, que hay que leer y resumir individualmente. A continuación, se juntan con los
otros tres componentes de su grupo y exponen resumidamente la información que han leído, intentando
ordenar los datos al mismo tiempo y presentado especial atención a los diferentes gráficos que van
saliendo.

Todo esto se puede combinar con una serie de citas de películas muy conocidas e imágenes para incitar
un poco de discusión sobre lo acertado que pueda ser el artículo. También se puede combinar con la

URSULA, The Little Mermaid
You'll have yourlooks. Yourprettyface and don't underestimate the importance of "body
language." Ha!
The men up there don't like a lot of blabber. They think a girl who gossips is a bore.
Yes, on land it's much preferredfor ladies not to say a word. After all, dear, what is idle prattlefor?
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation. True gentlemen avoid it when they can.
But they dote and swoon andfawn. On a lady who's withdrawn. It's she who holds her tongue who
gets her man.
