Comment by Tony O'seland on February 3, 2011 at 10:57am: Hi folks. I'm having to rebuild my bookmarks because of, well, cat vs. computer related problems. What was the publishing company that puts out the CD with all the lesson plans for graphic novels, please? I want to get an order off to them in the next couple of weeks. Thanks everyone.

Comment by Ryan Goble on January 18, 2011 at 8:50am: Tony, if you post that in the discussion forum I can share that in the Week in Review - FWIW. Thanks for sharing! RRG:)

Comment by Tony O'seland on January 18, 2011 at 6:51am: Call to writers and publishers in the group: I'm working with three textbook committees as we put together a series of rhetoric/readers for freshman composition and intro to literature books. We're looking for short graphic stories that are reprint affordable for possible inclusion. Suggestions and recommendations? Off-list email: oseland@nsuok.edu.

Comment by Ryan Goble on January 17, 2011 at 5:57pm: Hey Marcy - looks cool. Would you consider moving this resource above in the discussion forum? Because forum discussions have URLs then it will be in there for the next person looking for a cool MLK resource AND I can broadcast the your post to the whole Ning for the Week in Review!

When you post your ? above your "affinity group" peeps can give you feedback. Because forum ?s have URLs it will be in there for the next person with a similar ?

A truly great question !!
