EDU 2100 - Internship in an Ethnically Diverse Setting Credits: 2
The purpose of the Jan Term Teaching Internship in a Diverse Setting is to provide candidates with an internship experience in a more diverse setting than nearby Professional Development Schools can provide. Field practicum experiences in courses prior to the semester-long student teaching internship, as well as the student teaching internship itself, are scheduled in schools near the McDaniel College campus in order to facilitate transportation logistics. These schools within a reasonable commute distance do not allow for the ethnic diversity in the student population that teachers may encounter during their careers. The Jan Term requirement provides an additional experience that is critical to a teacher’s success in the classrooms of most communities. It also assists candidates in meeting Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) Principle 3: The teacher understands how students differ in their approaches to learning and creates instructional opportunities that are adapted to diverse learners and McDaniel College’s Conceptual Framework. Outcome 2: McDaniel College prepares knowledgeable, caring, and reflective practitioners who use their self-awareness and knowledge of diversity to create learning environments that support their belief that all students can learn.
Note: For admitted Education major/minor candidates only.

ENG 2226 - The Graphic Novel Credits: 4
Ever since Art Spiegelman’s Holocaust memoir Maus won the Pultizer Prize, graphic novelists have experimented with the serious storytelling capacity of long-form comics. The results - for power, variety, and sheer fun - represent an important contribution to literature. Autobiographical comics such as Maus, Fun Home, and Perepolis present provocative subject matter including faith, family, and politics. Many
works, fiction or nonfiction, take up stories of sexual identity and teen angst, sometimes in a very explicit fashion. Still others - like Alan Moore’s Watchmen and Neil Gaiman’s Sandman - provoke a serious, postmodern engagement with superheroes and fantasy. Students will learn technical approaches for analyzing these texts, paying particular attention to word-image fusion and to the relationship between visual elements and narrative structure. Students will practice mapping out pages and explore options in world-building and self-representation. Works will be studied in their cultural, historical, and aesthetic contexts.
