I bet you've been meaning to dive into graphic novels for ages. I mean, everyone says they're so great - what's that all about?
Maybe you want to try one as a whole class text, launch graphic novel book clubs, or make your choice reading display of graphic novels the best in the district...
You’d probably like to know which titles would be best for your students then, and how to teach their unique visual vocabulary through creative lessons and projects...
Oh good. You're in the right place.
In one week, I'll give you everything you'll need for success.
Here's what's coming...
- My favorite titles, so you don't have to wait on hold for 30 graphic novels on Libby
- A book tasting activity to help you introduce a range of (fabulous) graphic novels to your kiddos
- Bright visual tools to make teaching graphic novel vocabulary easier than re-reading a Colleen Hoover novel
- Creative activities you can use with ANY GRAPHIC NOVEL that bridge analysis of text and graphic elements
- Done-for-you curriculum for launching a creative final project, without spending five hours in Canva prepping it
In short, everything you need to teach your first graphic novel unit next year and smash it! Plus, a fun group of aspiring graphic novel gurus to move through the week with when you hop into our camp community.
Each day's advice and materials will be delivered to your inbox, ready and waiting for you to put into place. No need to "level up" or "buy in."
I know what it’s like to have no idea how to teach a graphic novel - yep, that was definitely me fifteen years ago when I picked up a colorful stack as part of the booklist I inherited, but I’ve learned a whole lot since my first run through.
A graphic novel unit has the potential for creativity and delight, not to mention a high level of accessibility. I’m here to help you find all of that for your students.
Get ready to scratch “Figure out the whole graphic novel thing” off your long-term to-do list, because you’re about to get everything you need for success, and a fun community to dive in by your side.
Hey there, I'm Betsy. So nice to meet you!
Let's fill your classroom with creativity and
give you back your teacher joy.
I love to rollerblade, re-read my favorite novels, and think about how to bring more color and creativity into your teaching life!
I'm ever in search of the best gelato in Eastern Europe (where I live),
with a little bit of help from my two kiddos.
