I finished High School last year, one year and even though nobody did, when we got to choose books to read for projects, comics and graphic novels were completely allowed.
My school allows comics they even have graphic novels in the library but their selection is awful they have like 3 superman books and 1 batman book and a bunch of other ones like amulet but a total of 4 D.C. Books
Thank you, Gene, for including Zot! on the spinner rack image. That book, and many of the others you included in your presentation had a profound effect on me. Now when is Secret Coders book 2 coming out?
Thank you sir! I try to tell people the value of comics, but every one just looks at me sideways, maybe you can change this mindset. I mean people learn to read because of comics, yet they are frowned upon and outright banned for reading material in schools.
@@Fran-rc9dd What about your school? There are books in your school? There are books at the school I teach at. There are books at my house. What is your point? How does that answer the question “what is a ‘real’ book?”
If you are looking for an argument on a research paper, 5:11-5:22 is the perfect spot to look at.
Thanks! Much appreciated :)

Honestly, I only read Gene Yang's take on Avatar: The Last Airbender. But I still love his writing.
If you want to read some of his independent works, I recommend Boxers & Saints, American Born Chinese, and The Shadow Hero.
excellent great job.
Gene Yang, your cool
Such great video
I just came here for class work
*Help*
better late than never i guess.
i would probably enjoy school more when there is more pictures.

You can not have comic books in school because it's not a real book
You’re really narrow minded..
What is a "real" book?
In my school
