| Description |
Graphic novels have the potential to support motivation, comprehension, and inferential thinking for adolescent readers, and their use can help encourage multimodality, visual and media literacy, and diversity in the classroom. The problem is that teachers do not take them seriously or are not familiar with them in the first place. This thesis makes a case for using graphic novels in middle school English language arts and provides a resource for educating teachers who are novice readers of graphic novels. It describes the process of creating the tool, a graphic narrative aligned to subject core standards annotated to show both standards alignment and intertextual reading. It also summarizes lessons learned by the author in creating the tool. It recommends future creation of a more distributable tool which can be used in the advocacy of classroom graphic novel use as well as further research into the efficacy and improvement of such a tool. |
