  • An Overview of Graphic Novels 1
    Using Graphic Novels in the Classroom A Guide for Teachers and Librarians Graphic novels are hot! No longer an underground movement appealing to a small following of enthusiasts, graphic novels have emerged as a growing segment of book publishing, and have become accepted by librarians and educators as mainstream literature for children and young adults—literature that powerfully motivates kids to read. At Scholastic we’re leading the way with our new Graphix imprint launched in spring 2005. Are graphic novels for you? Should you be taking a more serious look at this format? How might graphic novels fit into your curriculum and your classroom? What are some specific ideas for how to do this, using Scholastic’s new editions of Bone by Jeff Smith? Want to know more? If so, this guide—co-written by a school librarian and a public librarian who are both well-known experts in the field—is for you!

  • Cartoonist Jeff Smith on Letting Your Imagination Roam Free
    To help you grow your creative practice, our website is available as an email. Subscribe May 14, 2021 - As told to J. Bennett, 3205 words. Tags: Comics, Independence, Collaboration, Beginnings, Success. On letting your imagination roam free Cartoonist Jeff Smith on going your own way, the role luck plays in success, and the importance of staying connected to your inner child. How would you describe your artistic philosophy? There’s usually a picture of something in my mind that’s the beginning of an idea. And for me, it’s usually comics. In fact, it’s always comics. But there may be one image that I’m aiming to bring everything toward. For example, with a book I did called RASL, I knew I wanted to have this fight with this guy who was very creepy looking. And I was writing kind of a noir, quasi-sci-fi book about parallel dimensions and things like that, so then I had to back up and figure out how to create a story that builds up to that and connects. So that’s what I usually go for, even if it’s within a scene. Because I’m usually writing a story, there’s scenarios, and each piece gets broken down into smaller bits, but always at the heart of it is some image that I then back up and try to really build to. You came up with the initial sketches for Bone when you were just five years old. Do you think that childlike sensibility carried through the series? Oh yeah, I do think so.

  • Linking Students' Reading Interests with Curricula
    Building on the Familiar: Linking Students’ Reading Interests with Curricula Anne McGill-Franzen ([email protected]) Stergios Botzakis ([email protected]) The University of Tennessee Workshop Presentation at the 52nd IRA Annual Convention, Toronto, ON, Canada Sunday, May 13, 2007 Series books, graphic novels and comics are not usually selected for prestigious awards by librarians or teachers, such as the Caldecott or the Newberry, nor are they typically considered multicultural or offering diverse ethnic or linguistic perspectives. Yet children and adolescents themselves choose to read these books over virtually every other category of trade publication, and the most popular often transcend ethnicity, class, and more often than not, gender, in their broad appeal. In this chapter the authors summarize several research studies on the efficacy of using series books, graphic novels and comics to develop print knowledge, fluency, comprehension, and stamina, and most important, to sustain interest and engagement outside of school. At the secondary level, adolescents tend to navigate more toward authors and genres than series, with the seeming exception of graphic novels and manga, whose sales market has doubled since 2002. The combination of words and images contribute to motivation and fluency in many students, and they also have been used to scaffold vocabulary learning in struggling and ELL students. By building on the familiar—familiar media, familiar structures, familiar settings – series books, graphic novels and comics may support literate identities that are not only inextricably tied to particular child and youth cultures, but may also scaffold students’ participation in a more global discourse. Academic supports for struggling readers, second language learners o Academic supports from .
