Thank you to everyone on my committee who was as enthused about reading about comic books as I am. A huge acknowledgement to the staff of Star Clipper who not only were extremely kind and allowed me to use their game room for my research, but who also introduced me to comic book fandom in the first place. A thank you to Lauren Puckett for moderating the focus groups.

  • The Practical Use of Comics by TESOL Professionals By
    Comics Aren’t Just For Fun Anymore: The Practical Use of Comics by TESOL Professionals by David Recine A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in TESOL _________________________________________ Adviser Date _________________________________________ Graduate Committee Member Date _________________________________________ Graduate Committee Member Date University of Wisconsin-River Falls 2013 Comics, in the form of comic strips, comic books, and single panel cartoons are ubiquitous in classroom materials for teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL). While comics material is widely accepted as a teaching aid in TESOL, there is relatively little research into why comics are popular as a teaching instrument and how the effectiveness of comics can be maximized in TESOL. This thesis is designed to bridge the gap between conventional wisdom on the use of comics in ESL/EFL instruction and research related to visual aids in learning and language acquisition. The hidden science behind comics use in TESOL is examined to reveal the nature of comics, the psychological impact of the medium on learners, the qualities that make some comics more educational than others, and the most empirically sound ways to use comics in education. The definition of the comics medium itself is explored; characterizations of comics created by TESOL professionals, comic scholars, and psychologists are indexed and analyzed. This definition is followed by a look at the current role of comics in society at large, the teaching community in general, and TESOL specifically. From there, this paper explores the psycholinguistic concepts of construction of meaning and the language faculty.

  • Carol Jago's Suggestions for Your Classroom Library
    Carol Jago’s Suggestions for Your Classroom Library Welcome to my list of suggestions for your classroom library. It is not meant in any way to be a perfect list. Only you know what titles will be most appealing to your students and which books might be problematic in your school community. I have compiled here a list of books that I believe can open up the world to middle and high school readers. Some of these stories include scenes of violence and/or language that might offend. That said, I have read every one of these books and believe the scenes and language contribute importantly to the authors' intent and message. Thanks for all you do to bring books into your students’ lives. Reading helps us be more fully human.

  • Electricomics Project Report.Pdf
    Madefire Sequential Comixology Bouletcorp.com The writer creates a script, sometimes just from notes, or sometimes from rough sketches of the page called thumbnails. This thumbnail for Big Nemo shows that Alan Moore planned his page out as a traditional comic page, even though he knew he wanted the panels of it to only be visible one at a time. Below, we can see Moore’s script for the first two panels which features directions for the artist, as well as sound directions, and also what transitions there might be for the balloons and captions. All the writers had to make the choice of what to direct and what not to. They mostly put in a ‘wishlist’ which they were happy to see pared down, as the practicalities of those things were weighed against the time frame of the project. PANEL 1. In the blackness, we have SOUND F.X. of gentle snoring and whistling, bedroom ambience. After a second or two, the first caption appears up towards the top left corner of the top quarter-page space on the screen. The caption is reversed-out white on black, and is in a suitably fancy 1920s font. CAPTION: NEW YORK, 1929. PANEL 2. After a moment, the caption fades from sight. On the SOUND F.X. we have the snoring and whistling suddenly cease in the sound of a child falling out of bed and clattering to the floor. Then, in the lower left quarter of the bottom panel-space, we have a standard small black and white line image of McKay’s Little Nemo having just fallen out of his bed, which we see the top part of directly behind him.
