I thought the group that covered Graphic Novels and Violent Cases did a great job. I hadn't really ever considered teaching a graphic novel until now. I think I might put some more thought into the content of the graphic novel and age appropriateness, but for our level Violent Cases worked well. I like that it sparked some interesting discussion and different interpretation of the events within it.
I thought that the activity with Marxism worked well especially when applied to Violent Cases. My favorite activity would have to be the one where we created the comic strip one panel at a time without talking to each other. I thought it was a fun activity that allowed us to be creative and try to formulate a story out of what little material we had to work with.
I thought the group did a great job. They knew their material, and knew how to get important points across. Like I said, I may even consider bringing them into my own classroom.
