stand alone presentation
DESCRIPTION
In order to effectively teach reading and writing, a teacher must have student engagement. Too many students are not engaged during literacy instruction and therefore are only skimming the surface, and not experimenting with various reading strategies. I would like to change the way teachers look at literacy instruction, especially for boys. Using this presentation, I want to inform teachers and parents that comic books and graphic novels are not just dumbed-down, disposable literature. Graphic novels possess a great deal of academic integrity and often engage the imagination more using panel to panel inferencing.TRANSCRIPT
