Abstract
Graphic novels are an excellent medium to motivate today’s youth to become independent learners and thinkers. This practical guide shows secondary school teachers how to incorporate graphic novels into content area instruction as a tool for meeting the needs of diverse learners and achieving the goals of the Common Core State Standards.  The authors provide instructional guidelines with classroom examples that demonstrate how graphic novels can be used to expand content knowledge and literacy in science, social studies, math, and English/language arts.  Teachers will appreciate the book’s specific suggestions for selecting graphic novels and for employing responsive practices that will build students’ reading, writing, speaking, listening, and media competencies.

Book Features:

  • Advice for selecting and evaluating graphic novels.
  • Teaching strategies for each of the four major content domains.
  • Guidance for aligning instruction with the Common Core State Standards.
  • A list of educational graphic novels organized by content area.
  • Study group questions.

And more!
