Join Me for a Web Seminar on Teaching Comics and Graphic Novels!


This September I'll be joining the illustrious literacy scholars Nancy Frey and Douglas Fisher to present web seminar hosted by the National Council of Teachers of English. Entitled "Mapping Words and Images: Writing Graphic Novels with Adolescents," the seminar is aimed at middle and high school teachers who may want to learn more about how the sequential art format can get students thinking about various stages of the writing process. I'll even be sharing reflections and samples from some pre-service teachers whom I asked to engage in the process so they could share it with their students.


When it comes to currently active SANE scholars (that's sequential art narratives in education), it doesn't get much better than Nancy and Doug -- and I'm not too shabby myself. So, I encourage you to consider attending the web seminar for your personal professional development, that of your school or district, and for the students in your classroom whom you might see excel at story-telling, revising, and composing for the very first time!
