TPD 339 – Gathering Experiences for the Classroom (& Myself)

Listen Later

A thoughtful question/wondering came to me via the Doctor Baer AMA form:

I know a big part of how you advocate for comics and a thing you’ve shared that brings you a lot of joy is the teaching part of what you do– teaching comics. Through the long journey that is making a graphic novel, do you find that you pick up new tidbits/angles/perspectives/lessons that you can apply to teaching your students in the classroom?

Whether or not you’re planning on working with students, reflecting on your artistic experience only enriches it. But I also share how it leads to teachable moments and lessons plans that are fun for beginners.
