Drawing Comics and Citizenship
Thu, April 8, 5:00 to 6:00pm EDT (5:00 to 6:00pm EDT), SIG Sessions, SIG-Elliot Eisner Roundtable SessionsAbstract
The study of history can be divided into two facets. The first facet is that of chronology. Events happen in a specific order. Students of history at all levels need to have a basic understanding of chronology and time (Chapin, 2015). Yet, there is another facet: non-linearity (Cromer & Clark, 2007; Kincheloe, 2001). History is “messy” and complex (Cromer & Clark, 2007). When I teach history to my students I try to convey both of these ideas by having them draw comics.
