Hey Nick! I picked up the link in the "other group" and have to say I've really enjoyed reading the material. Thanks for responding. When I get something worked out as a lesson plan set, is there a place here I could post it for others?

Square? Not you, Ryan! Yeah, I posted the torah in regards to something else on a different forum, but here 'tis: http://thecomictorah.com/. Unfortunatetly, I don't have a lesson for his Eisner project - sounds great though, Tony. - N

Thanks, Ryan. I have to tell you, it's comforting to find this group. I've felt like I was crying out against the darkness for years, making one convert at a time, while fighting administration about the validity of my field. I've done as you suggested and we'll see where it goes from there.

Hi Tony - I think folks would LOVE to help you. As you can see above there are lots of GN rockstars here. Unfortunately, big questions like yours here on the comment wall are not easy to respond to and get buried over time. Please consider copying and pasting your question above in the discussion forum (right above the comment wall). That way your question has a URL and a "reply feature." Then the GN folks will give you feedback, it will be in the forum for the next person with a similar ? AND I can broadcast the question to the whole Ning on crowdsource Tuesday! Thanks for getting in and contributing! Ryan:)

Greetings group. My name is Tony and I am a Lecturer in English at Northeastern State University at Tahlequah, Oklahoma. I'm in the process of developing the very first course ever presented by our department on the Literature of the Graphic Word. It's going to be a summer course (8 weeks) and will include an introduction to Lit Theory, Comics Theory, Storytelling, Comics as Discourse, and Comics as Remediation for ESL Students. I've got a list of works to use, most are the "usual suspects," and I'm searching for lesson plans created using Will Eisner's Contract with God and The Plot. Any suggestions? Thanks for allowing me to participate.

I need to make a check list of places to repost stuff!

Comment by Ryan Goble on September 17, 2010 at 10:10am

Jessica - don't be shy about cross posting some key blogs/material up above in the discussion forum. When Stergios posts stuff it is from his blog. We'd love to see more of your work here if that was of interest to you!

Keep drawing cool stuff.

RRG:)
