Unit Three, Part 2 - Resources for Sequential Art Instruction
Overview
Although as a teacher of English Language Arts you often do have to do a bit more leg work than your colleagues in other content areas in order to make sure what you are teaching appropriately addresses the standards, it is important to remember that you do not have to reinvent the wheel. Especially with the advent of the modern internet and Web 2.0 services, it makes very little sense to entirely create every piece of material you select for instruction yourself. Instead, you should be aware of preexisting artifacts and focus on how you can make them fit for your purposes. In this section, I have provided you with some links to resources that you may be able to use in your sequential art lesson plan. Please begin the tasks listed below.
