Great Teaching Tool

By Belle Yang "www.belleyang.com" - September 26, 2010

It is obvious Dr. Monnin has a huge love for the comics format. The lessons she provides in TEACHING GRAPHIC NOVELS are invaluable tools for classroom learning. She makes the traditional lessons in plot, character, crisis action, etc., more intuitive and lively for students because she provides a visual guideline. For the educator, the lessons Dr. Monnin has created and compiled will save countless hours of trying to reinvent the wheel.

Good book, heavy on the practical

By R Edwards-Barran - May 11, 2010

This book certainly lives up to its title "practical strategies for the secondary ELA classroom." It's chuck full of activities, some of which can easily be photocopied and used "as is". I had one problem, though. For some reason I couldn't take in more than two or three pages per sitting. It was like the words and exercises were screaming at me. There was something about the layout and type setting that gave me a sensory overload. What I wanted was a guideline, a demonstration of how graphic novels can be used so that I could create my own activities. This book provides a detailed step by step format. I suppose that's perfect for some, but it was very distracting for me.
