Creators+of+Teaching-Superheroes

=Creators of Teaching Superheroes! = = = =Over the course of the fall 2010 semester, graduate students from SUNY Geneseo's Ella Cline Shear School of Education partnered with the Strong National Museum of Play. The museum was seeking background information to better support area teachers as they prepare for classroom visits to the American Comic Book Heroes exhibit. Students from Dr. Peck's Curriculum 530: "Language Arts Methods in the Elementary School Classroom" developed this wikispace. Students visited the museum exhibit and met with museum staff to learn about the development of the exhibit. Then, as a class, they brainstormed topics that would best support teachers' interactions with the exhibit. Collaboratively, they researched the genres of superheroes and comic books/graphic novels and looked at the ways in which these topics could be drawn upon in classroom contexts. This wiki represents their learning. It is a collection of resources for teachers. We hope that you find it useful! = = = =The members of the CURR 530 class include: = Chris Bonawitz Cathy Ebert Amy Geedy Sara Gehring Pin Chen Huang Selena Linsner Brian McCormick Colleen McNamara Emily O'Leary Tara Paige Jamie Rondeau Lauren Shearing Jayme Siegel <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Alex Terrance <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Beki Tisa <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Laura Van Etten <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Jennifer Zalar
