A great way to open important conversations in class and the power of representation in comics is this inspiring talk centered on Ms. Marvel from G Willow Wilson - I show it every year. Young people are helping to change our world and we need to encourage them. #TeachingWithComics

Teaching “adulting”, economics, or Freshman seminar? How about some free comics from Marvel - complete with education materials? www.practicalmoneyskills.com/en/resources/comics.html #TeachingWithComics

Visual literacy for the win. Have students summarize or describe another book in four panels. Draw by hand or Pixton, action figures, legos, PowerPoint… #TeachingWithComics

I will be incorporating into my social studies class as we discuss debate and Machiavelli. But the modern parallels are absolutely bone chilling. Well done @ryannorth.ca and the entire team. Wow.

“This exploration with comics draws us closer to what we have in common,” says Emily Kirkpatrick.
