FEEDBACK: Photosynthesis comic & more

[Jay Hosler]

Hi everyone,

I am developing some materials and would welcome your comments/insights.

I am working on a comic story about photosynthesis that I plan to test in my ongoing assessment of comics in the classroom. It is designed for an intro bio course, so no prior knowledge is assumed. I realize that this is a busy time of year, but I am posting new pages on my blog as I complete them and would value any comments/insights you might have.  Here is the link to the blog

(Editorial Note: the awesome thing about Jay's blog is you can see his process and how his comics go from the scientific chart:

To charming narrative:

End note.)

Here is the archive containing all of the photosynthesis posts (you have to start at the bottom to get page 1)

Finally, if you are really bored (or just trying to avoid grading like me), I am developing a series of articles I’ve been thinking of pitching to some science blog like Discover, Science News, etc. It is called the Field Guide to Super-Powers and in it I use super-powers as a springboard to talk about some of the amazing adaptations in the animal world.  I haven’t done any for awhile because I’ve been scrambling to stay on top of my lectures and grading. Do these merit a submission or am I just kidding myself?

Any thought you have time for would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Jay
