James Bucky Carter and the contributors to this collection have found an effective approach: use graphic novels! Carter and his contributors tap into the growing popularity of graphic novels in this one-of-a-kind guidebook. Each chapter presents practical suggestions for the classroom as it pairs a graphic novel with a more traditional text or examines connections between multiple sources. Some of the pairings include: \u003cem\u003eThe Scarlet Lette\u003c\/em\u003er and Katherine Arnoldi's \u003cem\u003eThe Amazing \"True\" Story of a Teenage Single Mom\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eOliver Twist \u003c\/em\u003eand Will Eisner's \u003cem\u003eFagin the Jew\u003c\/em\u003e; young adult literature and Marjane Satrapi's \u003cem\u003ePersepolis\u003c\/em\u003e; \u003cem\u003eDante's Inferno\u003c\/em\u003e and an X-Men story; Classic fantasies (\u003cem\u003ePeter Pan\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Wizard of Oz\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eAlice in Wonderland\u003c\/em\u003e) and Farel Dalrymple's \u003cem\u003ePop Gun War\u003c\/em\u003e; traditional and graphic novel versions of \u003cem\u003eBeowulf\u003c\/em\u003e. These creative pairings open up a double world of possibilities-in words and images-to all kinds of learners, from reluctant readers and English language learners to gifted students and those who are critically exploring relevant social issues. A valuable appendix recommends additional graphic novels for use in middle and high school classrooms. Packed with great ideas for integrating graphic novels into the curriculum, this collection of creative and effective teaching strategies will help you and your students join the fun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Bucky Carter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814103928\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814103920\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Council of Teachers of English (Ncte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 9.80w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eVoice of Youth Advocates\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2007 pg. 377","brand":"James Bucky Carter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079366078719,"sku":"9780814103920","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_de99c30b-f792-4a01-b465-76e56dd959aa.jpg?v=1685480725","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/building-literacy-connections-with-graphic-james-bucky-carter-9780814103920","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
