Throughout the month of August, Teach.com and Reading With Pictures are bringing you Comics in the Classroom, a blog series about using comics in education, including why graphic novels are complex texts as defined by the Common Core Standards, how to use graphic texts to teach in the content areas, how and where to find the best graphic texts, and more.
Read the third post in this series: Teaching Content With Comics. In addition to teaching and strengthening literacy skills for all students, the comic format is a powerful tool for teaching content!
Teach.com, from the USC Rossier School of Education, is a comprehensive resource for information on becoming a great teacher in any state across the country. It provides state specific information on how to become a teacher, teacher salaries, teaching credentials, teacher certification tests, alternative teacher certification, and much more. Our aim is to provide all the information necessary to become a teacher no matter where you live.
