My usual readers know I love comics. I write often on my blog. Lucky Luke was the last one I think: Éducation : On fête les 70 ans de Lucky Luke dans la salle de classe? But there are other.

This time, the introduction to my review of the most read post of November is Gaston Lagaffe, the hero created by French cartoonist André Franquin.

At the Centre Beaubourg, in Paris, there is a good  exhibition : Gaston, au de-là de Lagaffe. 

Some information: 

Apparu pour la première fois le 28 février 1957 dans les pages du journal de Spirou, Gaston Lagaffe fête ses soixante ans en 2017.

"C’est en lisant des histoires américaines que j’ai appris à dessiner comme à peu près tous les gars de ma génération."

Franquin, citation sur son premier dessin 

Le 'héros sans emploi' créé par Franquin pour animer le journal devient très vite l’un des personnages majeurs de l’épopée Spirou et, sur plus de 900 planches, un véritable classique de la BD.

"L’exposition proposée par la Bibliothèque publique d’information pose un regard neuf sur l’importance de ce personnage qui aura entraîné son créateur très au-delà de la BD jeunesse ; le gaffeur se révélant avec le recul subversif, militant, beatnik, écolo et au final porteur de questionnements très emblématiques de notre époque sur la manière de vivre en société."

Planches et éditions originales, dessins inédits, photographies, inventions et gags en tous genres permettent de redécouvrir un Gaston si proche de chacun d’entre nous, derrière lequel débordent tout le talent et l’audace d’André Franquin.

You have more information here.

Education:

If you are planning a school trip to Paris, you have enough time to prepare a visit at Centre Pompidou to see the exhibition with students.

It will be a fantastic educational resource to teach comics to your students. They will love it.

The exhibition ends on 10 April 2017.

Price: free

Off on holiday ! Now it's the time ! Well, finally I could have my summer holiday week. Not in Paris this year. But in Portugal! My beautiful country!

Summer break is obviously one of the best things humankind has ever come up with, I am excited! It's my 'real' time off this year.

I am looking forward to enjoy some summer activities. Going to the beach, relaxing reading, interesting concerts with family and friends. 

Impossible to forget books. Love reading on the beach or at a relaxing terrace. I am curious about the last J.K. Rowling fiction The Silkworm, I am reading The Cuckoo’s Calling.

Of course I love J.K. Rowling ! I read Harry Pottter saga in the classroom with my students.

In fact, I read an interesting article based on a research about Harry Potter's generation. Reading Harry Potter books has been helping to reduce prejudice.

That’s the conclusion of research just published in the Journal of Applied Social Psychology. It finds that, among young people, "reading J.K. Rowling’s book series—and, crucially, identifying with the lead character—can reduce bias toward stigmatized minority groups." 

Interesting! Harry Potter is back ? is the 2nd most-read post of July.

Here are the most popular posts of the last month:

English Language : Chambers 2015 & OED 

Harry Potter is back ? Digital Reading in the classroom

Science Education : Summer Supermoons 2014

VideoGame Story : parents et enseignants 

Education Apps : math4you

Educação & Cidadania : Mulheres Portuguesas Guerra 14-18

By the way, next 10th August don't forget the second supermoon of the year.

On August 10th it becomes full during the same hour as perigee - arguably making it an extra-super Moon."

On July I wrote in English  French and Portuguese.

Wherever you are for holidays, I hope that you are enjoying your summer holidays  very much!

I'll be back to posting the normal roundup second week of August.

"Don’t worry about things. Don’t push. Just do your work and you’ll survive.The important thing is to have a ball, to be joyful, to be loving and to be explosive. Out of that comes everything and you grow."
