Shortlisted for the UK Literacy Association's Academic Book Award
2021 There is an increasing trend in teachers using graphic novels
to get their students excited about reading and writing, using both
original stories and adaptations of classic works by authors such
as Homer, Shakespeare, and the Brontes. However, there is
surprisingly little research available about which pedagogies and
classroom practices are proven to be effective. This book draws on
cutting-edge research, surveys and classroom observations to
provide a set of effective methods for teaching with graphic novels
in the secondary English language arts classroom. These methods can
be applied to a broad base of uses ranging from understanding
literary criticism, critical reading, multimodal composition, to
learning literary devices like foreshadowing and irony. The book
begins by looking at what English language arts teachers hope to
achieve in the classroom. It then considers the affordances and
constraints of using graphic novels to achieve these specific
goals, using some of the most successful graphic novels as
examples, including Maus; Persepolis; The Nameless City; and
American Born Chinese and series such as Manga Shakespeare.
Finally, it helps the teacher navigate through the planning process
to figure out how to best use graphic novels in their own
classroom. Drawing on their extensive teaching experience, the
authors offer examples from real classrooms, suggested lesson
plans, and a list of teachable graphic novels organized by purpose
of teaching.
