Successful study skills can be hard but powerful life-long skills. The best methods of study are based on training your mind to be interested to learning new material

"The Comic Creator invites students to compose their own comic strips for a variety of contexts (prewriting, pre- and postreading activities, response to literature, and so on). The organizers focus on the key elements of comic strips by allowing students to choose backgrounds, characters, and props, as well as to compose related dialogue (shown at left). This versatile tool can be used by students from kindergarten through high school, for purposes ranging from learning to write dialogue to an in-depth study of a formerly neglected genre. The tool is easy to use, made even easier with the Comic Strip Planning Sheet, a printable PDF that comic creators can use to draft and revise their work before creating and printing their final comics. After completing their comic, students have the ability to print out and illustrate their final versions for feedback and assessment."

Great resource for teachers and students...you'll find analysis of theme, characters and study guides. History study guides as well!

Very interesting site with lots of info - summerization, theme

This is a nice collection of literature arranged by various theme groupings. When sitting down to write curriculum, it may come in very handy.

Thanks Patrick! It's an extraordinary site for media studies as well as literature.
