Love the comic sketches from the French clothing company Claudie Pierlot

Suzanne Collins biography, graphic novel style! Students should enjoy reading, right!? And there's a reason why young children love picture books: images are appealing. Do I prefer reading a graphic novel version of my favorite books? Not really. But, that doesn't mean none of my students do. In fact, I would say quite a few of them would prefer it. If I want my students to enjoy reading, I need to offer plenty of choices. The same with writing. Some kids are happy to write a classic book report. But some aren't. So why not give them choices? With the recent announcement on the Hunger Games Fireside Chat of Sara Gundell's comic-style biography of Suzanne Collins (author of The Hunger Games), (see picture) this reminds me that there are so many appealing ways to entice students to read rather than the traditionally printed book. I offer loads of choices in my high school classroom because we all have different tastes. I do love reading comics and have Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, Close to Home, and Frazz books for students to read. Of course I offer the classics along side them, but I would much rather have a student read something over nothing. We need to admit that it is OK to allow these choices in our classroom. Students DO learn from reading non-academia texts! Reading the Guiness Book of World Records is still helping my students' reading skills. How? Because they are reading! It doesn't matter what they are reading. The act alone and repetition of it makes them better readers. It is the same with writing. The more they write, the better writer they become. So why do we assign the boring 5-paragraph essay over and over again so they learn to hate writing? I don't know (well I do...because we are forced to). It's crazy. I would rather assign them more relevant and personally-connected pieces because 1. they will enjoy it, and 2. the chances of them copying & pasting text from the internet is less likely. Here's a free download for you: comic strip panels to use to assign a comic bio or book report. Download all of the pages here: I created them using Pasq.com's Comic Life program.

This is a challenging 5th grade Pop Art project for art teachers wanting to infuse literacy into their art lessons. Reinforce onomatopoeia words by studying Andy Warhol's prints and Roy Lichtenstein's comic strip artwork with benday dots. Combine collage, printmaking, and hand lettering techniques into one art lesson!

Even though parenting seems like the hardest job in the world, the vast majority of parents enjoy it, find it rewarding, and see it as an important part of their identity. After seeing numerous articles, posts, and videos online about parenting struggles, burnout, and anxiety, it feels reassuring to know that bringing new life into the world brings so much happiness to people, despite them encountering many difficulties. In their comics, the couple Yehuda and Maya Devir also try to spread the wonders of parenting by illustrating their everyday lives in an honest and fun way. Scroll down to find the freshest batch of their comics, and let us know what you think in the comments below!While you’re at it, make sure to check out a conversation with licensed marriage and family therapist, Brittany Salling, who kindly agreed to tell us more about the transition into parenthood and how partners can support each other during it.

Part of my Christmas gift to my lovely gf, thehauntedboy. I’m so thankful for you darling! Happy New Year friends!

It's spring and and with spring comes a lot of things that can distract 10 year old learners: hormones, new sport seasons, sunshine, allergies, love.... it all boils down to spring fever and keeping my kiddos' attention keeps ME on my toes! That's why I'm so excited to share a fun way to practice or review quotation marks and descriptive writing in the classroom! Last week, in class, my fourth graders started learning about the proper use of quotation marks. We started out the week by brainstorming what we already know about quotation marks, creating an anchor chart, and reading and looking at real world examples of quotation marks in use. The next phase of the lesson included reading "The Mystery of the Missing Socks" a Grammar Tale from Scholastic. You can find this at Amazon.com. On Tuesday of this week, we put all of our new knowledge to the test by turning comic strips into stories! Comics are great to use to practice using quotation marks because the dialogue is already placed in speech bubbles. All students have to do is describe the setting, add the action, and use the quotation marks correctly. I happen to have a bunch of old comic strips in a box. I have been saving them for "someday" and that day was Tuesday! I spent some time going through the comics looking for ones that were 1. appropriate and 2. had enough dialogue in them to make them useful. When I was done I had about 15 strips that would work. I took the comics to the copy machine and made a packet for each of my table groups (We are in "wagon trains" right now, so there are 8 students per group). To start the lesson, I asked my class if they liked comic strips. Of course, most of them said, "YES!" I explained what were were going to be doing and then I modeled for them using a Hagar the Horrible comic. When I was done modeling how to take the speech from the comic and put it into quotation marks, I handed out the packets of comic strips to my table groups. If I had to do it all over again, I'd give my students time to read through the comics together. They were very excited and it was difficult to get them to settle down and get to work. For the first draft I had students focus on writing the dialogue, using dialogue tags, quotation marks, and other punctuation correctly. I encouraged them to be descriptive and add action so that scene and mood for each panel was clear. Add caption The next day, using the model story I wrote the day before, we talked about adjectives and adverbs. Together, we went through my story and highlighted any examples of those two parts of speech. As we were looking at my story, we talked about whether or not the scene and mood were clear. Did I use the BEST word choice? Could I be more descriptive? If we closed our eyes and read the story would we have questions or would we be able to clearly visualize the actions, facial expressions, and tone of voice of each of our characters? After revising my story, I challenged students to revise their own stories by adding at least 3 adjectives and 3 adverbs. My students are still working on their revisions and will be sharing them in class on Wednesday! I am looking forward to hearing how their stories turn out and seeing how they are doing on their use of quotation marks! As an extension to this writing activity, you could add a comic strip writing station to your literacy station. Students could take comics and write stories or take short stories and write comic strips! What a fun way to integrate the arts and encourage creativity in writing! Thank you for stopping by! I hope that this post has inspired you to use comic strips in your classroom!

Have you ever heard a word that sounds like the sound it describes? That’s called onomatopoeia. It’s a literary device that is used to describe a sound by imitating it with a word. For example, the word “buzz” imitates the sound of a bee. Onomatopoeia is used in literature, poetry, and even in everyday language. ... Read more
