Comics serve as powerful tools for student engagement and literacy across all levels and subjects. So many of us have learned to read through comics and are passionate about this medium, now come and learn about tested lesson plans that can be used in your classroom during your very next class. Tim Smyth, who is a classroom teacher and reading specialist of 15 years, has found great success integrating comics and other forms of pop culture in his classroom. This presentation will include tips on obtaining classroom comic resources, information on online comics teacher communities, and common core connections to help win over parents and administrators to what we already know- that comics open doors to learning.
