  • The Walking Dead (Brief Respite)

    The Walking Dead: Volume 10 – What We Become I have been reading this series courtesy of the public library. I should have read volume 8 and 9 next but I looked at the first few pages and realized that the Governor story had been completed and a new arc had started, so I didn’t […]


  • A Great School Doesn’t Need a Building

    A great school doesn’t need a building. It just needs students eager to learn, dedicated teachers, and a little help from the community. I saw this on Tumblr and was completely blown away by what these teachers have created. They built a school under a bridge in India. It is an unusual school in an […]

  • Battlestar Galactica: Season Zero

    Battlestar Galactica: Season Zero This story takes place two years before the mini-series that re-launched the Battlestar Galactica franchise. The first third of this graphic novel moved a little slowly but then I got so invested in the story that I couldn’t put the book down. This is the first Battlestar Galactica comic I’ve read […]


  • Create Visual Poems With Your Students

    Here are a few visual poems. Can you read them? 1. Follow the map. 2. Connect the dots. The first one is a map, of sorts. You have to follow the arrows to read the phrase . . . “You can’t get lost if you don’t know where you’re going.” I like that visual image […]

  • 8 Tips for Young Musicians

    Here are 8 tips you can use in your music classroom. I hope they will inspire the young musicians in your class. I think using the term “young musician” is very important too. Some students won’t see themselves as musicians whatsoever. They won’t feel comfortable playing an instrument at first. They might stop trying. That’s […]


  • The Avengers Tripping Through Time

    Avengers: Volume 1 by Brian Michael Bendis, John Romita Jr, and Klaus Janson This is a time travel story involving two generations of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. I was glad that I’d seen this animated film before reading it because it ties in rather nicely. In the movie, the Next Avengers are actually the children of […]
