Brief Description
To conclude the sudy of Gil Vicente’s play – Auto da Barca do Inferno -, students will be asked to match – in Spiderscribe – the different characters of the play with their main psychological features and the symbols that represent their sins, following the given example of the character “Fidalgo”. Students will be divided into groups and each one of them will be responsible for one character, editing the Spiderscribe scheme previously shared by the teacher.
