Hello,

I'm teaching Maus I in Thailand to an enthusiastic group of ninth-graders in Thailand. In addition to interdisciplinary units English/Social studies, students have enjoyed correcting the grammar 'mistakes' in the text. I hadn't intended this but it generated a lot of discussion in my English as a Second Language class about authenticity vs. accuracy. Students are beginning to work on narratives and are taking more risks with their writing. I would like to participate in a cross-cultural graphic novel/comic exchange similar to Marek's if any one is interested.

Thank you so much, Louann. I actually don't have access myself. I asked the editor what the status of the issue was just two days ago and was told it was coming out "soon." I don't have the rights to post the piece here unfortunately, only to make handouts. Still, they are great bunch at ALAN -- so happy to be part of this issue.

Graphica recommendations by Peter Gutierrez in the new ALAN Review are excellent. Maybe someone can recommend a way to see them if you're not a subscriber or don't have access at a library.

Always have to drop the mad science, eh? I've been schooled :)

Hey Folks,

If you didn't get a chance to read about Marek's international comics exchange between elementary students in Nicaragua and New Hampshire - take a gander. He drew a fascinating and inspiring comics journal about the project.

Jamie, great to have you here. When your class gets the zine together you'll have to post it up above as a Discussion forum post (those are a better archive than the wall comments). Have you seen the Zine mags that the SCAD puts together they exhibit them at the MOCCA event every year. Cool stuff - we can't wait to see the work of your crew!! RRG:)

I'm new here. My junior/senior illustration majors at Maine College of Art are working on a collective zine comic. We are all still learning how to create a visual thread with all their styles, but it's FUN.

You might be interested in reading about UNESCO's call for an international Media Literacy Curriculum in the Media Education Discussion Forum - there's also an interesting blurb there about a French proposal to put warning labels on photoshopped models in magazines. Both articles were forwarded to me via Media Literacy Clearinghouse guru and MC Popper Frank Baker.

Enjoy! RRG:)
