Ep. 093 - Using Comics as a Teaching Tool

In this episode, Andrew talks to Dr. Richard Graham (author of the book "Goverment Issue: Comics for the People") about how comics can help with engagement and student behavior (3:45), specific strategies for teaching with comics (10:00), and advice for using comics as a hook to get students more involved (14:45).    Resources and Links: Here is a list of (almost) all the comics Andrew and Dr. Graham discussed in the episode: Nearsighted Monkey Tumblr Persepolis Persepolis Film King Cat Chilling Adventures of Sabrina Spy Seal My Favorite Thing is Monsters
