Gene Luen Yang : Comics belong in the classroom


Gene Luen Yang at TEDxManhattanBeach 2016
Comics belong in the classroom  (transcript)
Summary
The story can be said strongly that the time finally comes. In fact, comics lectures can teach visually more than textbooks, films television, animation, and videos. It's because now, students grow up in a visual culture and comics are permanent that means in a comic, past, present and future all sit side on the same page and it shows that the rate of information flow is firmly in the hands of the reader.
When students didn't understand something in the comics lecture, they could just reread that passage as quickly or as slowly as they needed.

In the past, parents and teachers grew up without comics, thus reading those is not studying. Even when many students started reading comics, it continued. When the experiment that comics was used in the classroom started, there was an argument that comic books caused juvenile delinquency unevidently.  At once, video lectures were used in the classroom, but students are unbearable.

People wouldn't think that comics belong in the classroom, even the speaker didn't think that though it was wrong.

Words in this story
juvenile /adj/ of, for, or relating to young people.
delinquency /noun/  crime, wrongdoing
cause /verb/ make (something, typically something bad) happen.
