Description:
As teachers, we're always looking for new ways to help our
students engage with texts. James Bucky Carter and the contributors to
this collection have found an effective approach: use graphic novels!
Carter and his contributors tap into the growing
popularity of graphic novels in this one-of-a-kind guidebook. Each
chapter presents practical suggestions for the classroom as it pairs a
graphic novel with a more traditional text or examines connections
between multiple sources. Some of the pairings include:
- The Scarlet Letter
and Katherine Arnoldi’s The
Amazing “True” Story of a Teenage Single Mom
- Oliver Twist and
Will Eisner’s Fagin
the Jew
- Young adult literature
and Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis
- Dante’s Inferno and an
X-Men story
- Classic fantasies (Peter Pan, The Wizard of Oz,
and Alice in Wonderland)
and Farel Dalrymple’s Pop Gun War
- Traditional and
graphic novel versions of Beowulf
These creative pairings open up a
double world of possibilities—in words and
images—to all kinds of learners, from reluctant readers and
English language learners to gifted students and those who are
critically exploring relevant social issues. A valuable appendix
recommends additional graphic novels for use in middle and high school
classrooms.
Packed with great ideas for integrating graphic
novels into the curriculum, this collection of creative and effective
teaching strategies will help you and your students join the fun.
Grades
7–12.
