I love tennis, but I wonder how a search for tennis sites got you to Chester . . . was it his meet with Richmonder Arthur Ashe?? I may be able to increase those kinds of hits with the book I'm working on now: a look at famous people who were homeschooled, including the "Smash Sisters" Venus and Serena Williams! HA!

Comix are a fun, multilayered way for me to teach, but they are an EVEN BETTER way for the students to then process what they are learning. The students must understand an issue in several directions before they can then edit the information (what to put in their comic, what to leave out), put it in sequence, and make the words match the pictures. It's actually a lot more work than just writing a few text-only paragraphs about a subject. (But most kids will do that extra work because it's got a lot of room for creativitiy!) If you want a set of all 27 of my books, mark the "gift set" box on my order form (which you can download at www.chestercomix.com/order/ And if you give me some names, I'd be happy to sign 5-6 of those books for you! Fax me the form and we can get the books to you ASAP. Thanks for coming out to Constitution Day, Mrs. Knight!

Your presentation was lively and informative, and invaluable for motivating my homeroom students. We have been playing with the Comics Lab Extreme program found at: http://www.professorgarfield.org/pgf_comics_lab.html Your use of a comics approach have given new breath and real-life meaning to my kids' understanding of using this as a tool for learning. Thanks so much. We also would like to purchase more books. The kids did not understand how very cool they were and are sorry to have missed out on the opportunity to purchase a signed copy today. Any re-offers??? I am also looking to purchase a class set of the remaining issues. Please send info if possible.
