A Comic Education

by Ryan Scicluna

In classrooms comics can be used as a complimentary tool to students’ studies. They allow students who find textbooks boring to have a combination of text and images as an aid.

Using comics and pop culture to educate on various topics will engage children who are difficult to reach.

Most of us move through life with a quiet certainty that being alive is self-evident. We grow, think, love, worry, plan. We distinguish instinctively between what lives and what does not. A person is alive; a stone is not. A dog is alive; a machine is not. The line feels obvious, until someone asks us to explain it.
