ARTICLES YOU SHOULD READ

The Classroom has produced some articles of interest to most teachers and librarians. You might have missed them, so every so often I remind the new readers of their existence. You will notice that these articles are listed in the sidebar.


THE BEST COMICS LIST FOR YOUR CLASSROOM
This is an exhaustive list of all the HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and RECOMMENDED comics we have reviewed. The list is categorized by age to be even more helpful. Take note that the recommended ages are generally the lowest recommendation and does not mean that the title is not appropriate for older students. In fact, many times a title may be appropriate for a middle school student, but it may be best suited for high school. So use those age recommendations as a guide only. Otherwise, you may miss out on some fantastic comic literature for your older students. This list is always changing as we continue to review, so check back often. If you are new to comics, this is a great place to start.


KEEPING COMICS IN YOUR CLASSROOM: STORAGE AND SAFETY
These are my recommendations for the best way to keep your comics safely stored in your classroom. This article speaks directly to the 32-page, pamphlet-style periodical comic book that everyone is most familiar with.


MEET THE STAFF
The bios of the staff members can be found in the sidebar. Just in case you want to learn more about the people who review comic literature for you.
