[Marek Bennett]

Here is a link to some notes from a current residency with eighth graders in NH, studying global & local history during the WWII era; the project is an introduction to WWII history in 33 short comic strips:

As detailed in the post, this student artwork provides an important early assessment tool for the classroom teacher (and for the resident teaching artist!) as we move into the  local history comics creation phase of the residency.  Stay tuned!

 

I'd appreciate any suggestions, comments, resource links, etc. ...

OMG - this is awesome - if you've got the mojo perhaps you can copy and paste the source code and cross post it in Middle School discussions and World History discussion!!! Congrats on the great work!!
