#Comics in the Classroom

[teachmoments]

A very cool weekend at C2E2 talking comics in the classroom.

I’ve been using the medium of comics in my curriculum since I started teaching in Brooklyn, lo so many years ago… and for most of that time I’ve felt like I was on an island with the work. It was great to have the chance to have some in-depth discussions and digressions about the practice… and share work with like-minded individuals!

Here’s a comic I drew during our Q&A session at the end of “Nothing But The Hits: Tried and True Text, Units and Strategies for the Comics Classroom” featuring some of the brave audience members who asked the panel questions about how to make this medium come alive for students.

"So, handling your archnemesis," Danny starts. The room falls quiet, heads slowly turning to look at the man as he writes the words on the chalkboard. When finished, the characters somehow both messy and neat at once, Danny places the chalk back down and claps his hands.

"I typically call them fruitloops. Often they're in a better position than you are- older, richer, more powerful. They may have some sort of status that protects them when facing the public."

Tim wondered where Dick was right now, and if he was laughing. His brain was lagging like a computer as he tried to process what Danny was saying, and how seriously a few of his fellow teen vigilantes were taking this.

"Some of their more common tactics are-" the chalk was picked back up, and Danny writes as he speaks.

"Manipulation, isolation, conditioning, and empathy."

MICE.

Tim stares at the board, and quietly slips put his phone.

-What have I done to deserve this.

Enjoy your lessons Tim-

His head thumps against the desk. Conner leans over, gives him a pat on the shoulder but returns to taking notes as Danny goes on to explain the conditioning tactic.

The ONLY thing the X-Men movies did right was the Xavier mansion. This shit was beautiful, I want to go there. That's exactly how the audience should feel about it too. It should be an iconic pop culture place.

The Huge green grounds! All that's missing is the lake with the boat house and the stable

The very fancy marble columns, the paintings, the ceiling of this corridor!!!!

The wood everywhere!!! The aesthetic!

The small effective classes that are just normal rooms!

And finally.... this kitchen is to die for!!! The greenery, the stained glass!

I may not totally agree with the fort-like exterior but this issss a beautiful place. Xavier has taste (and mostly money)

She was a badass professor. She's retired now but keeps up with us former students on FB, so whenever I run across interesting war movies or whatever, I fling the suggestions her way. We read Maus II for that class with her, so we were already doing a comic in that class, and that's what made me think that she'd like the Magneto comic. She LOVED that Marvel put the money toward buying back the Holocaust survivor's paintings, and she loved that the comic had actual teaching tools for using it in the classroom for different ages.

Magneto is such an interesting character. I've never considered him a villain, and I think it's wrong to villainize a Holocaust survivor who's just trying to keep another Holocaust (but toward mutants) from happening. Whereas Charles has used his powers to erase his own students' memories, to change their memories (I believe), and otherwise is just a manipulative dickbag (who was in love with his favorite student from the time she was 16), but he's always hailed as a hero and the perfect example of how mutants are supposed to be.

ive been on a Magneto reading spree lately and every time i am more on his side someone free me

I say I’m tired of small or dead fandoms but then I interact with my fandoms that are very active and it’s awful and brain dead and argumentative

Isogai Yuuma from the Korotan B novel, but in Chiba's POV

Isogai quietly walked up to a table where one of the customers was absorbed in gambling, took their jacket, and quickly put it on. Then, without hesitation, Isogai approached a beautiful woman at another table and struck up a conversation with her.

“You’re such a cool guy, Isogai.”

Chiba couldn’t help but admire Isogai after seeing everything from afar.

Mind you, Karma was next to him the whole time he was not-so-subtly gay panicking for Isogai in the middle of a mission. Bet he looked at him and was like "and what are you gonna do about it huh" 😭

Bc of this, I'm so convinced that Chiba has some sort of dirt on him cuz there's no way the tomato head wouldn't tease him about this 💀
