A student asked a very important question as instead of the teacher simply answering, she avoided any conversation on race. The teacher’s respond I think can me interpreted in many ways, but for this student, he know thinks race should be silence and how it doesn’t matter. This is a rich comic. ]]> 2021-02-23 17:11:42 UTC https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1232562334 dalyeq https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1232617085 This website, CBLDF, recommended a list of comics based on diverse authors expressing racial issues within their comics. These comics vary with diverse characters to challenge the thoughts of diversity in society. The comics that are represented in this link will help bring diversity to libraries and classrooms. They vary with age and social, racial, and historical reform and issues. ]]> 2021-02-23 17:20:22 UTC https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1232617085 dalyeq https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1232659163 I was so excited to come across this article! Diversity extends more than just the conversations of race! Comics can also help educate students on disibilities or struggles that other students may deal with. Disibilties are another conversation that is silenced in schools!!!! This comic can help teachers and students understnad that all students have different needs. ]]> 2021-02-23 17:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1232659163 dalyeq https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1232722638 This article is a teachers’ blog on expressing comics within the classroom! it starts with how and what the teacher and parents wanted their students to be educated on  then led to the many issues our society faces today. Seperate from diversity, they talked about the matters of rape, social hierarchy, stereotypes, and other prominent topics, especially in the school enviroment, that continued to not be talked about as much as they should be. Examples of those who identify with LGBQT+ community and females are being incorporated in comics leading readers to be feel more excepted and educated. They give a great example about the comic, Thor. ]]> 2021-02-23 17:38:22 UTC https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1232722638 dalyeq https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1232816508 This link provides the first chapter to Black, A comic based on the question, “What is only black people had super powers?”. This powerful comic connects not only the “power” these superheroes would have or how they would save people, but how it is in order to protect themselves from the world.  This comic also connectst he police brutality and the stereotypes still present in today’s time. An interesting and inviting read! ]]> 2021-02-23 17:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1232816508 fowlerse https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1233812075 This article not only discusses who gets to be superhero but also delves into gender when thinking about superheroes.

Or how marvel really should just create new and more diverse characters rather than just their old rather undiverse superheroes. ]]> 2021-02-23 21:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1233850287 fowlerse https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1233870502 In this article, the author points out how white men are mostly the leaders of the comic book world.

The main character switches from an all deaf school to a new school where she's the only one with a hearing aid. But it brings a superpower, hence, "El Deafo" the superhero. Will be ordering this for my future classroom!]]> 2021-02-23 22:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1233946827 allmancm https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1237048076 The article below discusses how the criteria of who is able to be a superhero is expanding. However, often with comics marginalized groups are stereotyped, therefore not giving equitable representation to all. The article also discussed how race-bending in the entertainment industry often leads to an uproar because white males have been prioritized in the industry for decades. However, this does not mean that we should continue the use of white supremacy in comics and should instead continue to allow people of all groups and identities to be superheroes! ]]> 2021-02-24 16:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1237048076 allmancm https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1237088052 In this article, the author discusses how since superheroes lacked diversity from their beginning, people have grown use to the characters they grew up with and reject change. Therefore, leading superheroes of color to be cast a sidekicks or left out completely. However, this does not mean that we should honor white fragility and not create a more diverse cast of superheroes or use race-bending. Representation is essential, even if it makes some people uncomfortable. ]]> 2021-02-24 16:17:59 UTC https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1237088052 allmancm https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1237146313 In this article, Jabari Sellers discusses the ways in which comics can be useful in the classroom. Comics can be used to introduce complex concepts, such as race, in a way that students could better comprehend. The use of comics can also help to expand past the literary canon and show students that important information and lessons can be found in places other than just traditional literature. ]]> 2021-02-24 16:26:45 UTC https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1237146313 allmancm https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1237229354 The article below discusses racial stereotyping in comics. Typically, exaggerations of physical features of personalities were the most common stereotypes used within comics in cartoons. However, this was not just a thing of the past. Racial stereotyping is still very prevalent today. It is important to recognize stereotyping and address it when we see it. ]]> 2021-02-24 16:40:51 UTC https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1237229354 allmancm https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1237255782 This article lists common stereotypes in comics that many do not realize are racist.  Three stereotypes that I feel I have witnessed the most are indigenous people associated with mysticism, black individuals being seen as "angry", and asian characters always knowing martial arts. There are countless examples of these stereotypes at play in pop culture and they often go unnoticed. It is important to view all texts through a critical lens and ensure that we are standing up against racism when we see it; whether it be in pop culture or in our day to day lives. ]]> 2021-02-24 16:45:35 UTC https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1237255782 mccrayog https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1238572282 In Orion Martin's project, he reimagined Wolverine as a stereotypical "angry black man." This makes the viewer makes the connections between the persecuted X-men and those who are persecuted in the real world. ]]> 2021-02-24 21:21:40 UTC https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1238572282 mccrayog https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1238636003 James Gun, the director of Suicide Squad and the Guardian's of the Galaxy moves responded to th negative comments in an interesting way. He pointed out that there has been more backlash about casting a black actor in a "white role" than when he made Drax and Mantis aliens instead of humans. ]]> 2021-02-24 21:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1238636003 mccrayog https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1238659853 Though we have mostly been focusing on race bending (rightfully so), this week in comics, it is important to note how women are perceived in comics. They are often killed-off in order for their male counterpart's story to become more complex. This is something necessary to keep in mind when looking for comics to show your class because this is not a showing women in a good light. ]]> 2021-02-24 21:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1238659853 mccrayog https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1238669358 I was researching why we should include comics in the classroom, and I came across this image. Another side of including comics in the classroom is allowing students the creative liberty to make their own! If they unfortunately can't find themselves in a comic-- they can make their own! This was inspired by Toni Morrison's famous quote "If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it."]]> 2021-02-24 21:55:42 UTC https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1238669358 mccrayog https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1238680563 This comic is actually by UNICEF and depicts students throughout the world being affected by smog. This is a very interesting topic because it's not about superheroes, but about a global health crisis. It teaches the reader to be responsible for their contributions to greenhouse gases and what they can do to keep themselves safe. ]]> 2021-02-24 22:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1238680563 beldenbe https://padlet.com/allmancm/slx3nc12lsfp26dt/wish/1239104599 This article demonstrates how comic book enterprises all have a past that is not exactly clean of faults.
