Transnational Comics Studies Workshop

Please join the  Transnational   Comics   Studi es  Workshop  on  Wednesday, January 25th  from  2:30-4pm  in the   3rd   floor   Conference   Room  of the  MLB  ( Room  3308)  for a presentation on using  comics in the classroom  by cartoonist and educator  Jerzy Drozd. Comic Books: A Pathway to Learning   As teachers find a variety of uses for comics, graphic novels and manga in the classroom, they need to understand the complex thinking and deep skills required to both read and create them. In this workshop, work with cartoonist Jerzy Drozd to explore the convergence of literary and artistic disciplines inherent in comics and see how comics can be a powerful way to build reading comprehension skills, such as prediction, inference, and fluency. Copies of Drodz 64-page teaching kit will be distributed at the event.  It contains example lesson plans for participants who want to take what they learned in the workshop into their own classrooms.
