Jerzy Drozd (@Jerzy) is a cartoonist, which is to say, a person who writes stories visually in the medium of comics. He also teaches courses on how to make comics around the Southeast Michigan area and beyond, and in the first seven months of 2011 he has worked with nearly 2000 students. He is one of the founders of the Kids Read Comics Celebration, a yearly event held in Michigan featuring hands-on comics workshops for young people and professional development workshops for adults.

Yes, you know about Watchmen, and Maus, and Sandman, and Ghost World, and Scott Pilgrim, etc. But what are some of the hidden gems of awesomeness in the world of comics? I'll cover as many as I can in 5 minutes. Several will probably involve monkeys. (Because monkeys make everything awesome, especially comics!)
"As teachers find a variety of uses for comics, graphic novels and manga in the classroom, they need to understand the complex thinking and deep skills required to both read and create them. In this presentation cartoonist Jerzy Drozd will explore the convergence of literary and artistic disciplines inherent in comics and see how comics can be a powerful way to build reading comprehension skills, such as prediction, inference, and fluency.
