Comics in Education Presents: Resources for Teaching Art Spiegelman's Maus

5/22/2014

Even if you're teaching Maus for the first time, there are more resources out there than you might think...

It can be both an exciting and daunting task for teachers if they're teaching a graphic novel for the first time, and that graphic novel happens to be Art Spiegelman's Maus. Although it is one of the most frequently taught GNs in the high school classroom (along with Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis), there are dozens of resources available to assist you in your preparations. Here are some good ones to get you started with your unit!


  • Teacher's Guide for Maus from the Vancouver Holocaust Centre
  • Making it Visual for ELL Students: Teaching History Using Maus
  • The Chicago Humanities Festival's Study Guide for Comic Books, Featuring Maus
  • Teaching Resources for Art Spiegelman's Maus: A Survivor's Tale
  • Resources for Studying The Complete Maus from Melbourne High School


These resources should help you to prepare a unit that your students will thoroughly enjoy. If you still have any questions about teaching Maus, don't hesitate to ask us here at Comics in Education!
