Graphically Teaching: Using graphic novels to support content instruction in the classroom

Tuesday July 9, 2024 8:15am - 9:15am EDT

Graphic novels are more than comic books! They can be an engaging way to bridge gaps in vocabulary, context, and content. While students enjoy reading them for their cartoon illustrations and readability, they can also be used to supplement instruction. Come learn how to use these resources from your library to create an engaging format to present everything from classic literature to text features to primary sources.
