Loving my students’ work. We did a deep dive on Frankenstein and the Industrial Revolution. We had some powerful discussions as we connected literature to history and today.

The fight to prove comics = literacy can be exhausting sometimes. There are days when all I’ve got left in my mental arsenal is the same as Phoebe 😂. (We LOVE this entire series BTW)

I love to write educator guides for powerful stories of all kinds - anything to help get more students reading. I have many ideas and lessons in my own book, but publishers have also put some online for free. You can find them in my website here - www.historycomics.net/free-lesson-....

Just finished. My daughter cried through it. We are all victims of the larger racist system. It’s why books are so important. Jared can change, so can we all - but we need books like these to open minds to the truth.

I always share this video from George Takei when discussing in class, about his experiences in the camps - youtu.be/LeBKBFAPwNc . You can also watch the interview the co-authors and I shared on the creation of this powerful memoir here youtu.be/QtF5t2E8UH4

If I taught marine biology… I’d take out the words and have the students come up with the name for the Doc Ock sub… LOL!

Comics/visual literacy helps students to truly see what is happening in prose, political cartoons, etc. and to slow down and really go in depth. So very proud of my students - often showing me new ways to view resources as well.
