Gene Yang's Blog

I found Gene Yang's blog to be extremely interesting and full of tons of links with useful and thoughtful information. The biggest area of interest to me on his blog however was the "Comics" link. There, I found all different types of Comics that promotes art and literature at the same time. This goes off of the idea in my last blog about how comics are an upcoming and common way to promote learning in classrooms, especially for those students who learn visually.

Another thing that really struck me was the song that was on the home page by a middle school student. It was a song about how although we all look different, we are the same and should be treated with the same respect. The song was inspired by "American Born Chinese". It is an extremely inspiring song, especially coming from such a young person.
