Caveat: Frog, Hen, Cow, Snake

I recently ran across a website that agrees with my theories about the importance of "art" in language teaching. I mean, it's not a deeply academic site, but it's nice to see teachers that have the same instinct and approach that I do. Creativity is how to get kids (and even adults) to not just study but to actually learn to use foreign language. Anyway. In that vein, here's a really good drawing done by an otherwise low-ability and low-motivation fifth-grade student named Ahyeon, based on a story we read about Boe the Frog, who counts feet (as in: "that hen has 2 feet, one, two"; etc.).
