Bridging Ideas Using Big Fat Little Lit

We received an awesome email from Professor James Carter of University of Texas at El Paso, about his inventive use of the Little Lit series in his English 3349 class. He writes:

"For the second year in a row, I've asked students in my Dramatic Modes of English Language Arts teacher-education class to consider how they might use comics stories as thematic bridges into more traditional texts. Big Fat Little Lit is one of the key texts they use for their comics stories. This year's crop of ideas is pretty impressive!"

We agree! See what they're up to.
