The kids are super into manga, so I went for it. I chose a classic "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" which has themes that are very relevant today. There's a film as well. I designed a unit around it if anyone wants it. It turned out great, kids were into it. ]]> 2022-05-09 21:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jjg47471/ezxnmryobwq31rr1/wish/2176484996 Got through my 2nd year of teaching (first year in the classroom) without dying (yet) https://padlet.com/jjg47471/ezxnmryobwq31rr1/wish/2176485865 2022-05-09 21:45:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jjg47471/ezxnmryobwq31rr1/wish/2176485865 Haha being able to withstand the storm last semester.
