Teacher Comics: January 13th, 2017

…also, it was the day before a three-day weekend. Forgot about that too. Recipe for teenage insanity.

Hey, here’s a chalkboard drawing I did for Friday the 13th.

I don’t do many of these anymore for a variety of reasons but I’m going to try and throw a few up on the board when the spirit moves me.

Chalkboard Drawings: The “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre” edition

I draw a picture of myself on my classroom’s chalkboard everyday. I collect those pictures as camera phone photos and post them on Sundays. See the rest here.

Hey, here are a few chalkboard drawings from before the extreme cold shut down education in Southwest Ohio!

Chalkboard Drawings: Friday the 13th

 

I normally save my monster-themed drawings for October but… c’mon!

October is an all-monster themed chalkboard drawing week. Last week I did the classic movie monsters… this week, I did modern monsters.

Two notes about this one: Firstly, the “Friday the 13th sound effect” should probably be written as “ch-ch-ch, ah-ah-ah”. Secondly, right after I took this picture, I realized that having Jason brandishing a machete on my classroom’s chalkboard was probably too intense for anyone so I erased it.

…see, you can kind of tell with my drawing of Ghostface here that I avoided that “waving a deadly weapon around” quagmire. It looks a little strange though.

This one is “by student request” since I’ve only seen the first Saw movie and found it pretty repugnant.

…this one came out pretty good. I like that it’s a joke on how ugly I find myself to be, as well as a general dig at the Child’s Play movies.

For the rest of October, I’ve challenged myself to draw some kind of movie monster into my morning chalkboard drawings. I tried to stay within the last twenty or so years for the first week.

I used the same Benchmark for three days because honestly, that’s what we were doing for three days, in three different ways.

This will probably be the Benchmark I use every Friday, as that’s when I give my students time in class for independent reading.
Incidentally, I also tried my hand at the Jigsaw puppet from those Saw movies but it was so bad I decided not to inflict that one on you.
