So I had yet another idea for my always in the air graduate studies. My theory was that I wanted to do a Masters of Education on the link between comic books and literacy programs for pre-adolescent boys. A quick Google search reveals that there are several journal articles on the subject and more importantly there's a "well-funded" program in the States called The Comic Book Project that is a program that allows students to create their own comics as a means of fostering literacy. Now I'm going to read all the related books I can find on the subject and see if I can add something to the debate.
And this isn't a countdown post because it has to do with comics, therefore unrelated to my trip to California.

The kids I tutor love love love manga. Its the only thing a lot of the boys will read. You have to be careful, though, as some of it is quite risque. it can lead to giggle attacks and inappropriate questions.
