comics in school

[kdoginohio]

Knowing that I read `Funny Books', my nephew told me about his one college course that used graphic novels as a teaching tool. I think i recall a boardie preparing for a comic course a while ago. If you could use a comic book to teach a class, which one would it be and why?

Watchmen (Vigilantism, Politics & Paranoia) Miracleman (The idea of Human Perfection or idea of the Super Human Deity, Religion,) Swamp Thing (Environment, Inner self)

Judge Dredd (Fascism, The Idea Of Law, the concept of Freedom)

The Crow (Depression, Loss, Love, Vengeance,)

I'd go with the X-Men. You can't get much better that the X-Men to help teach children about racism, violence, in-difference, and the on-going struggle to promote the idea that "...All Men are Created Equal..."

Alot of them need a retro-fit on the `Founding Documents'.

Being trained (although not working as) a history teacher, I would choose graphic novels that reflected that focus. Maybe something like Maus if I were doing the holocaust, or Fax From Sarajevo is I were doing more current history.
