The Marvin and Milo ‘Do try this at home’ comic series seems like a fantastic addition to the 1st&2nd classroom. There are so many brilliant aspects to this comic series. It will certainly trigger a sense of wonder and intrigue in the children. When initially introducing the series, I would have the #21 strip displayed on the IWB. I would reveal the top half of the comic strip and briefly discuss what Marvin means when he says ‘This bowl can drink on its own’. We would then continue to read each panel, clarifying the meaning of words like ‘submerge’ as we go. For the first few weeks, we would do the same investigation in small groups at the same time. As time goes on, depending on abilities we could let the small groups read the comic strip themselves (laminated A4), perform the investigation (with all materials at hand) and discuss and reflect on what they observed. Each week, one group could demonstrate what Marvin and Milo had taught them this week.
