GRAPHIC NOVELS

 

As a teacher, you want to reach as many students as possible. You are familiar with some young kids who are not into reading children’s literature in general and have suggested graphic novels. You’ve seen success with their reading skills, and you’d like to share some insight on using graphic novels to teach literary devices. You decide that your article this week for the school website will focus on implementing effective instruction using graphic novels.

 

Research graphic novels. Read Chapter 4 in the textbook and the two articles attached below (What’s Going on in a Graphic Novel and How to Teach Graphic Novels):
