Comic Books! By: Mrs. Harker
Why are “comic book nerds” so smart? Could you use that in schools?
Visual retention 65% 10%
Pictoral Superiority effect “lf l add a picture, recall soars to 65%...we are hard-wired to find visualization more compelling than a spreadsheet (HultLabs n.p.)”
More “Fun” • Extended Plot Line • Purely Dialogue and Action
Debate over comic book use • Corrupts young minds and is a waste of time • “…Can foster pupils’ interest in science and …help remember what they have learned” (Comics in… n.p.).
