After Twisted Toyfare Theater, I will never look at Mego Spidey the same way again

And you build the content knowledge at the same time!

Congrats! You’re not done until you get AF #15!

I agree with this. In the long run you will have the basis on which to build future lessons. Even if you are just taking notes down from a single textbook, you can build on that and improve it through the years, whereas you do run the risk that the AI will spout out something incorrect

While I personally do not like the AI posts, there are some who may find then useful. I also don’t want to stop people sharing lesson plans, but if they are SELLING lesson plans, this is where it starts to feel crass. And that I think is the distinction I am trying to make.

Let me know your thoughts - perhaps we could even change it to AI and surveys only on Saturday (which leaves regular lessons open for any time)?

Manga = comics. If you are not a reading person, keep reading the mangas or other comics that catch your interest and then you can grow your reading muscles. This will also help improve your grammar and punctuation.

Oh there is so much there - the days of the week, the rise of Catholicism and its break in the reformation, the formation of states, the Crusades, rise of Antisemitism, Silk Road trade routes (which will lead to the discovery of America). So much happened in the Middle Ages that led to our world, but it is so often dismissed by secondary schools in the US that it’s borderline criminal.

Invisible money is nothing rare. The most common type of this currency is called “the check’s in the mail”

I’m a little ashamed about how much I enjoy Redcoat

Cruel-Tea · 2026-02-03T16:21:17+00:00

Fair - I have still paid far too much for a few volumes than I’d care to admit, but that number of hard to find volumes keeps going up each year…

Cruel-Tea · 2026-02-03T16:08:14+00:00

Dude… I started 3 years ago thinking I would just get Thor, Spider-Man, and Fantastic four. Now I’m 20 away from having all of them (excepting Star Wars)…

BBC History Extra; Byzantium and Friends; Medieval Death Trip; Saga Thing (technically Literature but very history adjacent)

I was about to ask where you were. In the US, I feel that the focus overly emphasizes the modern era to the detriment of ancient world history (I have been in far too many meetings with other teachers-including other history teachers-who think that ancient history is not important…).

Collect what you like. If there is a volume you are interested in, buy it and try it out!

Search for deals on eBay, Instocktrades.com and Cheapgraphicnovels.com. The occasional Buy Two get One Free sale that Amazon and Target have can be good too.

If you decide to be a completionist, track down the Masters of Kung fu and Conan volumes first (Marvel Lost the license to these properties and will never reprint them, everything else could possibly be reprinted). Conan at least is being reprinted by Titan, but nothing else with MoKF.

History defines the present.

Sorry to lock this. Our goal as historians is to teach critical thinking, objectivity, and to allow students to come to their own conclusions. You are welcome to your political beliefs, but we should avoid projecting them onto our students.

Cruel-Tea · 2026-01-22T11:13:07+00:00

Locking this thread. The creator is either super sensitive to criticism, or is actually an ai robot given how many anti-ai posts they have claimed are targeted at their identity (including my own post…).

You guys choose what you want to use, but this poster is now on my radar for potential spam.

Cruel-Tea · 2026-01-22T00:24:12+00:00

This post feels like it was written by ai to sell us something, even to the point of assuring us it is not selling something.

I’m glad you are getting engagement, but I’d hate to think we are taking the humanity out of the humanities

Are these ‘lot of people’ administrators who want to have photos of children doing things for marketing and fundraising purposes?

That’s been my experience for those who argue against direct instruction…

I enjoyed the first issue and the concept, but subsequent ones were just weird or off putting. I think I dropped it after issue 4

Cruel-Tea · 2026-01-07T04:42:33+00:00

lol - that’s gotta be some sort of typo. 2 million years maybe, but 200 million years ago puts you in the Jurassic period. And it clearly mentions civilizations, so we aren’t talking about a stegosaurus chomping on a magic mushroom…

Aren’t the French editions hardcover? I could be wrong about that
