I'm an English teacher in a high school, in the next month I'm running a unit focusing entirely on graphic novels. The students are reading one to two per week in small groups for discussions all cumulating in a final product which they can choose. Meanwhile each day I do mini-lessons focusing on the medium and ideas and history in comics. So far they've loved it.
I'm limited by books I have sets available for, but some of the comics they've had available to read are: >Red Son >Marvel 1602 >Maus >Moving Pictures >DC: Trinity >The Long Halloween >Fray >The Outside Circle >Watchmen >V for Vendetta
For my humble students, please postme all the most touching, most philosophical, funniest, deepest, most emotional, or even just strangest comics pages you know of. I used quite a few examples saved from Yea Forums already, but in my mini-lessons I'm looking to explore asstons of things that comics can handle and explore.
Gimme just iconic and the best comic pages you got
I’m student teaching right now. Idk if it’s for me man. I might go in to academic advising while I get my masters in Admin and go the higher education route. The pressure of lesson planning is fucking killing me.
Look man, I graduated high school last year and I’m of legal age to post on here. Spider-Man inspired me in middle school to be a better person. J. Michael Strakanzi’s comic is a great inspirational comic. I think everyone of you students should get bits and pieces of jms ‘ run
Wait what? Does she not realize he is hunted by the military? That his friends are not killers and no jail could hold him so exile is the prison they chose for him? I heard Immortal Hulk was good but this dialogue is telling me otherwise.

What Superman does on New Years Eve. The whole issue is about his wandering legs and like how Johnathon used to do one last check of the house, Superman does one last check of the world before going out with Lois on New Years.

I gotta sleep now. Putting in work before sunrise tomorrow. People gotta understand that selflessness and compassion for others is not a sign of weakness. And that there are people with scars waiting for an healer. I want everyone to post great/inspirational cape moments, but if you can, post all the based moments from non cape comics as well. If at least 1 student can be inspired by this thread, then it’s all worth it
>I heard its good! Yeah, from the same marvelcucks who pretend "god of the symbiotes" was good writing, that Miles and Riri are somehow "fixed" despite being as shit as ever, and unironically defend West Coast Avengers. Immortal Cuck is terrible.
Angel Wood
I don't suppose anyone has the page with Batman talking about how he's not alone anymore because he has his big family now? I wanna say it's from Morrisons run.
Student teaching is shit. Interning sucks ass and you're everyone's bitch and if you get a co-op teacher who's not good it can ruin your whole experience.
What I did is basiclaly plan all my lessons ahead of time, day by day, broken down point by point, creating power points beforehand. It frees up your evenings more. In my first practicum I didn't do that and wound up at 3AM bedtime for 6AM wakeup times and it nearly killed me.

I wish Peter stayed a teacher, I thought it was a good place for him.
It largely depends on your advising teacher and your class. Any program worth its salt will put you at a few different placements. If you don't enjoy any of it then yeah, consider a different occupation; but don't let inexperience color your perception of the job as a whole.
Lesson planning is something you will have lots of time to work on. Post teacher's college you'll likely be a supply for a fair bit and then get eased into full time position through long term placements (maternity leave, broken leg, etc...). You aren't going to immediately get hired to a contract position and be expected to have full units planned on your first day.
The entire Sam's Story is great. If memory serves it was mostly written by Jeph Loeb's teenage son who had cancer and was finished by his father and published posthumously.
If you want to do some history, you should consider checking and seeing if you library system (city/county) has Hoopla and look for Hip Hop Family Tree and/or John Lewis MARCH, about Selma, since these are both things that might interest your students and are also educational.
Another source you can use would be Read Comics On Line although not sure how that would work in an educational environment with whatever legal obligations you guys all have regarding IPs.

I fucking found it. Though it wasn't quite what I remembered.
School Librarian here. You absolutely need to incorporate the New Frontier in there somehow. Also, some Gene Luen Yang. I recommend American Born Chinese.
I can recommend BRPD and Hellboy, especially the early Mignolia ones as they are very style. Otherwise I would recommend to branch out to european comical and historical comics. Asterix is a must.
If I'm not wrong this was during Blackest Night and that's a Black Lantern Superboy, Krypto is defending Cassie and Conner is proud of him
I don't think black lanterns could control their actions but they were aware of what was going on
Ryder Lewis
This is the only comic page to ever legitimately make me cry (at least while sober). Jesus, this kills me every time. That fucking ocean simile is fucking spot on.
Benjamin Richardson
>Asterix is a must. The eternaut too. I hope OP doesn't focus on cape comics too much.
Amazing Spider-Man - Happy Birthday will always be my most favorite issue. Can't really think of anything that tops it. It gets everything I love about the character down pat.
And the stinger. THis isn't just a compilation shot of all of his fights, he was forced to go through time and fight them all over again, one after the other if he wanted to save MJ.
