MAUS, more than just a comic book

1º Bachillerato will be reading MAUS this term.

Maus is a graphic novel by American cartoonist Art Spiegelman, serialized from 1980 to 1991. It depicts Spiegelman interviewing his father about his experiences as a Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor. The work represents Jews as mice and other Germans and Poles as cats and pigs. Critics have classified Maus as memoir, biography, history, fiction, autobiography, or a mix of genres. In 1992 it became the first graphic novel to win a Pulitzer Prize.

Here is the book trailer of the graphic novel:

New beginning

Last year I was working in IES Gacía Morato, in Madrid.

This year I am working in IES Luis de Góngora, in Torrejón de Ardoz.

I will not erase the contents for last year, but I need to modify some sections so that his blog can be useful for my new students.

I hope some of the contents will still be useful for my old students.
