Middle School Trip to the Thurgood Marshall Courthouse

New York City’s Department of Education brings comic books to the classroom:

New York City’s streets will be flooded by comic book lovers starting on Oct. 17th, when Comic Con kicks off.  The medium fuels so much of modern pop culture, and in the 5 boroughs, that also includes education.  New York City Public Schools has quietly become one of the largest comics distributors in the country, publishing graphic novels that fit into the school civics curriculum. Ruth Duran-Chea teaches 6th-grade at PS/MS 315  in the Bronx. Ariana Quishpi and Aiden Ortega are two of her students. They joined WNYC’s Michael Hill to discuss comic books in the classroom.
