Críticas

"There may be other books that promote the use of graphic novels, but none that are so specific or offer such concrete, user-friendly lessons. I really enjoyed reading this book―and now I want to read and teach some of these graphic novels."

 

(Rebecca Rupert, English Teacher 2011-05-11)

"This book shows without a doubt how a graphic novel can foster deep thinking, vibrant discussion and multiple opportunities for writing with a purpose." (Rachel Hanson, Writing Coach & Gifted Language Arts Teacher 2011-05-11)

"This book provides a great framework for structuring a graphic novel English language arts class. The practical rationales for using these texts, as well as the activities included, do meet the need for a book aimed at ELA in instruction with graphic novels." (Stergios Botzakis, Assistant Professor, Adolescent Literacy 2011-05-11)

"This book is very readable and makes a clear case for using graphic novels. More importantly, it provides readers with examples that they can use in their classrooms. It’s very practical, yet challenging." (Douglas Fisher, Professor 2011-05-11)

"Even if you don’t want to (or can’t) teach graphic novels, this book offers so many wonderful ideas adaptable to other texts about how to get students thinking about what they read."

(Cindy A. Spoon, Basic Reading Teacher 2011-05-11)

"High school English teacher and graphic novel advocate Maureen Bakis offers educators a guide for using comics as teaching tools, based on her own experience. She examines the compositional elements of comics using several volumes as examples and demonstrates how they can be used to teach different concepts and skills." (Diamond Bookshelf 2012-05-01)

'This informative teacher's guide demonstrates how McCloud's Understanding Comics can be utilized in class and offers tried-and-tested ideas for the classroom, taking select graphic novels as an example' (Roswitha Henseler)

A secret weapon for engaging adolescents

Could you use a superhero to teach reading, writing, critical thinking, and problem-solving? While seeking the answer, secondary language arts teacher Maureen Bakis discovered a powerful pedagogy that teaches those skills and more. The amazingly successful results prompted her to write this practical guide that shows how to use graphic novels to:

• Teach 21st-century skills, including interpretation of content and form
• Promote authentic literacy learning
• Grow learners’ competency in writing and visual comprehension
• Motivate students to create in multiple formats, including images
• Engage struggling as well as proficient students in reading
