See you in Philly on Saturday May 30th! Let me know if you’ll be there.

It’s a whole vibe. @jerrycraft.bsky.social

These two panels have spoken directly to me the most.I am grateful for being seen as are so many others. Books like these need to be in our classrooms. My wife& I also wrote the educator guide for @halseanderson.bsky.social Speak graphic novel adaptation static.macmillan.com/static/macmi...

Today’s discussion.We watch the trailer for I,Robot & then answer this prompt - evaluate the use of AI when researching genocide.We then discuss as a class so it’s a peer to peer discussion -not just the teacher talking at the students. I then share this image from the movie as part of my concerns.

“And now? Who am I?” Wow - I picked this up today because of its haunting illustrations, having had no prior knowledge of the original prose version. Stunning on every page. Viral lessons for us all. Be you. Let others be themselves. Who really has the answers anyway?

Sometimes, to change the world, to instill hope, empathy, and civic activism, all that is needed is to hand out a powerful book and sticky notes. Thank you Congressman Lewis, Andrew Aydin & Nate Powell for inspiring us all. Congressman Lewis’ legacy lives on. #TeachingWithComics

My students are choosing objects that showcase who they are and are making comics to tell that story. I put this together in 15 minutes to alleviate some of the "art phobia" - can't wait to see what they turn in next wee.

I use this lesson with my students as they learn and share about culture and the importance of personal artifacts. Here is my complete lesson using this awesome free online comic for #AAPIHeritageMonth docs.google.com/document/d/1... - Thanks to the awesome people at WeTeachNYC !!!!!

Comics = reading. Reading = reading.

Comics = reading. Reading = reading.

Certainly not perfect, but this is the in-class essay format I gave today. Students are allowed to have their annotated works cited page out so they don’t have to memorize the citations.

My students are taking their AP World test tomorrow morning. I’m going to greet them with treats and this shirt. 😂

Turns out that my panel on teaching with comics was accepted! See you in a few weeks!

I got a kind note from an English teacher who’d been looking for ways to analyze images in comics & found my resource page on my visual analysis/annotation project. It was lovely to receive because a) it wasn’t ai spam & b) a reminder of why I share all this stuff spinweaveandcut.com/visual-analy...

So… another awards ceremony and it didn’t happen. Am I now an official Non-award winning educator? 😂. Always nice to be able to go out with my family after and have a “here’s to trying” toast. I’ll mope tonight, and probably tomorrow, but be back at it again on Monday.

This….

Show students the super power of gratitude.

Super highly recommend! I see my own son’s quiet and inspiring genius in this beautiful graphic bio of George Lucas. A great reminder that there are students like this in our classrooms today.

I love bringing music into the classroom whenever possible and asking students 4suggestions. I also get to share the music I listened to when I was their age and discuss how music is societal artifact. We also read the March graphic novels, so this quote from John Lewis opens important conversations

Love this thread!

Powerful and haunting adaptation of Animal Farm. Wow!

Love! It’s going into my high school classroom library as we get into the Cold War/Space Race. We all deserve to be seen in our heroes! I learned so much - embarrassed to say I had no idea of these heroes. We will be using this book to inspire future research. Picture books belong in all classrooms
