Hi David: I love your stuff - but I wanted to make a suggestion. I downloaded your preview and your name or contact information is not on it. If I show it to others, it would be great to have your information on it so that they can purchase your material too. Just a friendly suggestion.

Thank you for addressing the problem. When I went back and looked, I did indeed have the pronoun page. The intro page I am missing is the preposition page.

Loralie Baum re: Grammar Comics!: Parts of Speech
Hi David,
Whenever I download the file, I am missing the pronoun intro page. Along with that, there is a duplicate of the conjunction page. Can you recommend a way to fix this issue?

vickimarie re: Grammar Comics!: Parts of Speech
Hi David,
These comics are adorable and will work great in my 6th grade grammar lessons. However, I was just looking over the pages that I downloaded and noticed that page 8, the first page on adjectives, is blurry. All of the rest of the pages look totally crisp, which makes me think that it's not a simple fix, like I need to update adobe or something. I printed it out and compared it with the other pages, and it still looks blurry when compared with the other pages.

AClovetoteach re: Grammar Comics!: Parts of Speech
I'm looking something for my 5th graders to learn adjectives. Would this lesson meet that objective? The comics look like a great way to introduce or re-introduce adjectives.
February 14, 2013
David Rickert (TpT Seller)
I would think so, although each part of speech is dealt with in a two page comic. So there's nothing terribly in depth there. There are really designed to supplement a lesson, not stand on their own.
February 14, 2013
Bruce (TpT Seller)
Hi David, I am just starting on TPT and I am asking those who know, how I should get going. Help! Please see my profile when you can, I would be forever grateful for any and all suggestions!! Thank you!!!

Go to the seller's forum. There's a bunch of great information there about getting started.

elernst re: Grammar Comics: Sentence Problems (Common Errors in Writing)
Mr. Rickert, I loved using the "Run-on Sentences" comics. I did notice a small typo on page 11. It says ". . .Your job is to make reading as clear and effortless and possible. . ." Of course, you meant "as possible," but it is a typo. Thought you would like to know.

Joy Sexton (TpT Seller) re: Grammar Comics!: comma lessons
On your Comma Rules product, can you tell me how many comma rules you cover and which ones?
Thanks!
Thanks!
November 20, 2012
David Rickert (TpT Seller)
Sure! Commas in a series, commas between adjectives, commas to join sentences, introductory elements, independent phrases and clauses.

Do you have answer keys? Just bought Poetry Comics Volume 2.

I don't sorry! If I did they might be along the lines of "answers will vary." I will try to add more specific answers to them, and when I do you will receive a link to an updated product.

Will you be adding more parts of speech comics. I would love to see correlative and coordinating conjunctions as well as pronouns (antecedent, demonstrative, plural, first person etc). My kids continue to have difficulty with these parts of speech. We love your comics on nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. Thanks for making grammar fun again.
November 7, 2012
David Rickert (TpT Seller)
Thanks for your input! Those are good suggestions. Some of what you mentioned is covered in "Grammar Comics: Sentence Problems." You may want to check that out.
November 7, 2012
Rhonda Hughey re: Grammar Comics!: Parts of Speech
What does this contain?
September 11, 2012
David Rickert (TpT Seller)
A comic for each of the parts of speech. The sample of the verbs one gives you a good indication of what the rest are like. They are designed so that each one fits on to one sheet for distribution to your students - all, that is, except for the verbs one which is on three pages. Too much to write about!
I did not include any activities because I designed it to be a supplement to grammar instruction, not as a replacement. There are plenty of grammar resources out there, I figured.

David, I am looking for some clip art to use on my products and absolutely LOVE your cartoon characters! My materials are aimed at middle school and high school audiences--therefore I am searching for someone who is interested in creating some cartoon images of adolescents/teens writing, reading, using the computer, cooperative learning scene (sitting around a table), interviewing scene (holding a mic???), planting a school garden---these would be images only --that I would use on my products to make them SUPER attractive and engaging for the buyer and user. Of course I am willing to pay for your services and to give you credit each time I use your work on each of my products. What do you think?

I think this is a great idea and one I've pondered for some time. Right now I'm a little too busy to give my all to it, and I have to figure out the logistics of offering a set that people can use digitally as a file - I don't know it I can do that on TpT. I know that many of the images in my comics would work well for this purpose already - I know because I've done it - and it wouldn't be a problem to do a few more once I'm done with the two projects I'm working on currently. What I'd like to do when the time comes is have you feed me ideas and I'll give them to you for free as I build up a library of clip art that I can sell as a set. Sound good?

Sherry Olfert re: Poetry Comics Vol.1: metaphor, tone, and personification
Hello Mr Rickert, could you please state how many pages are in each of your Poetry Comics volumes? Thanks!
July 22, 2012
David Rickert (TpT Seller)
Yes. They are both 12 pages, minus the cover. Each comic is two pages, followed by another poem on a worksheet.
July 22, 2012
Sherry Olfert re: vocabulary cartoons: roots and affixes
Hello Mr Rickert, I am perusing your comic lessons, and I wonder if you could state how many pages are in each of your vocabulary cartoon packets? Thanks!
July 22, 2012
David Rickert (TpT Seller)
They are seven pages. Each comic - like the sample - is one page long with a list of additional words in the back. No activities for this one.

happyone re: Math Comics!: Fractions
I love your comics! I teach fifth and sixth grade math and science. Do you have anymore math comics other than fractions? I would love to see a comic strip on Newton's Laws of Motion.
July 22, 2012
David Rickert (TpT Seller)
That's a really good idea. I don't have a background in math or science, so it's difficult for me to do stuff in either of those two areas. But Science Comics is a definite possibility in the future.

mmr0112 re: Parts Of Speech Election Project
Did you intend for this to be done individually or in groups?
February 18, 2012

I did it in groups, simply because with eight parts of speech (and I assume a class larger than that) it was the easiest way to do it. But individually would work too.

Hi David,
I love the snapshots of your comics. I am new to teaching English and wanted to ask if your comics come with lesson plans. I was looking at the poem associated with tone and I probably need more guidance in order to use the cartoon.
Thank you for your time and help. I look forward to hearing from you.
Warmly,

It does not - at least not right now. I always envisioned at a supplement to grammar books and lessons that teachers were currently using rather thanks a stand alone product. If I ever get the chance to revise them, I will do that. You may want to check out Mark Pennington's Teaching Grammar and Mechanics which is available here and contains some of my work as well.

I am actually working on some reading skills materials with another teacher, although those are more geared toward learning to read rather than increasing fluency and all of that. Those won't be out for a year or so, though. In the meantime I'm working on Grammar Comics Vol. 3 as well, which deals with common sentence errors.

Yes - it works well because the word Superman isn't actually in the song.

Jabbott (TpT Seller)
I teach 9th grade English, and my students are always struggling with euphemisms and allusions. We study them all year, but especially with To Kill a Mockingbird. I was just wondering if you've ever created anything in these areas? I'd be happy to pay for them. I just love your work, so I thought I should at least ask.
August 6, 2011
David Rickert (TpT Seller)
Thanks! I have not done anything for those, but those would be good for volume three (when I get around to it.) Any suggestions for poems?
One thing I have done for allusions is to google popular songs that are about Superman and get the lyrics. Most of those songs don't make any sense unless you know the character. There's that Five For Fighting song and one by the Spin Doctors. Probably a few others. If you google "Clark Kent poems" by Lucille Clifton you'll find some stuff there.

Sure! The grammar comics are available are one set (called Grammar Comics! full version) and separately as Grammar Comics! vol. 1 and 2. If you have the full version you have everything on 1 and 2. If you only have vol 1 or 2, you need to get the other one. I have them up both way in case someone bought one volume and needed the other one later on. There are also two sets of vocabulary comics as well. Thanks!

Tambrosian re: roots and affixes comic: bio- auto- -logy
Hello, David, You asked for feedback on the 'Roots and Affixes' download. I love the cartoon format, but, unfortunately, these cartoons would be a little too 'childish' for my 16-18 year olds with learning difficulties - great for a younger age group, though. Your 'Grammar' cartoons have gone down well with my students - they seemed aimed at a slightly older group. Great stuff!

Glad you like them. There's an error on one of them I noticed today - I'll fix it and you'll receive a notice that you can download the fixed one.

Great! It worked for me too. Not sure what the issue was, but I'm glad it works fine now.

Hi. I recently purchased copies of Grammar Comics Vol 1 & 2. While Vol 1 is excellent, I am unable to open Vol 2 due to a corrupted file. I've downloaded it twice, but the result is the same. Can you help? Thanks, and congrats on some fantastic teaching resources.

I may have to upload it again today. Then I'll let you know that I've done that. I'll post it as a revised product, so you can download it again for free.

Hi David,
I teach 5th grade math on a reservation and 7 of my 13 students are SPED so I really have to work outside the box with them. Do you have any more of the math comics??? I would love to buy some if you do. Thank you,
Jamie

I haven't done any more of those. I have been sticking with the grammar ones because it's my field of expertise - it was too hard to work outside of my field of study.

Mr. David,
I love the comic strips to help the children. I teach in a innercity school in Louisiana and it is tough to get these kids to enjoy reading and not to yawn continuously during a poetry lesson. Do you have any poetry comics for fourth grade? We are responsible for our state test in 4th and are real close to becoming a school of choice, meaning the children can go to a school of their choice instead of ours. I am originally a Texas teacher and learning is so much different in Lousiana. Do you have anything for comprehension? Thanks you have made my day.

I have thought about making posters. The trick is to have the ability to print them off. I'll check into it soon.
