I really like these cartoons as a different way to assess my students on what they have learned so far about evolution.  It could be a good formative assessment for high school students.  I do not believe my middle school students know enough about evolution to be able to make even an educated guess.  However, I am planning on using them throughout the unit in order to assess my students' learning.  I think using the cartoons as an assessment will engage the students.
