(Continued from Part 6: Making a Jam Comic)

WE LOVE MAKING COMICS

Comics have a language all their own. The unique combination of words and images make comics a broad medium, capable of telling all kinds of stories in all kinds of ways. I often give comics presentations to students and educators and am always excited to point out just how much ground comics have covered: superheroes (of course), autobiographies, text books, mathematics, genetics, psychology, the holocaust, epic fantasy, cancer, humor, Shakespeare, war, bullying, love, the race to the moon, science, race, gender…comics are a true literary medium and it is always a pleasure for me to be able to share my love for the medium through comics workshops.

Did I mention that the kids love it?

The one thing I hear from teachers over and over again is how much they struggle to get their students engaged in what they’re learning. When students aren’t interested, teaching becomes a task, and learning goes out the window. That’s why it’s so great to get feedback like this:
