Best of Classroom Graphic Novels, via #TLAP Twitter Chat 3/21/2016

Way back on March 21st we had a great time in the #TLAP (Teach Like a Pirate) Twitter chat talking about graphic novels and comic books in the classroom. In the course of that hour, the teachers mentioned nearly 100 different titles that they either already use in their classes, or that they'd like to find ways to use. So I figured I'd put together a list of what they came up with. And then spring break happened. You know how it is. So here's the list alphabetically; it's not ordered in terms of grade or content, but if it's in bold it's an adaptation of an existing book, if it's in italics, it's part of a series. Here's the list:

American Born Chinese
Amulet
Anne Frank: Authorized Graphic Biography
Artemis Fowl
Asterix
Avengers: No More Bullying
Babymouse
Beowulf
Big Nate
Blankets
Blazing Combat
Bone

    Do they plan on coming out with a pdf to ong converter or not. Or do they have one already, I visited how to www.signnow.com/ask/how-to-notarize-an-electronic-signature-with-signnow but didn’t find any link to the one I wanted. They should work on making their website simpler.

    Where is their secure version of the website. They have shifted to airslate.com/product/robotic-process-automation and this is a cause of concern for me. They should advertise the https one considering how paranoid people can get.
