A Cat Story

Free Guide for teachers, librarians, and parents

Contains everything in the student guide with an extra letter of introduction to teaching comics, notes on individual activities, resources for teaching with comics, and links.

It also contains tips/tricks/empathy for adapting this guide and its assignments to individual learners, small groups, online classroom settings, and other socially distanced teaching practices.

In these challenging times when so much is online or at a difficult but necessary distance, we are all engaged in teaching to learn and learning to teach in new ways. There’s nothing better than the thrill of seeing a student getting something for the first time and I hope your learners uncover a few of those moments with the activities in this guide.

I’m honored to tag along on your learning journey! ❤
