A Discussion with Graphic Novelist Gareth Hinds
How do you introduce the
classics to reluctant readers? Gareth Hinds' graphic novel adaptations of such
classics as The Odyssey, Macbeth, Romeo & Juliet, Beowulf, King Lear and
The Merchant of Venice are a great start. Here Hinds discusses how his books
can benefit teachers and reluctant readers.

Comic Book Classroom
The Comic Creator invites children and teens to design their own comic strips. Their creations can be just for fun or as part of more structural learning activities
The Comic Creator invites students to compose their own
comic strips for a variety of contexts (prewriting, pre- and postreading
activities, response to literature, and so on). The organizers focus on the key
elements of comic strips by allowing students to choose backgrounds,
characters, and props, as well as to compose related dialogue (shown at left).
This versatile tool can be used by students from kindergarten through high
school, for purposes ranging from learning to write dialogue to an in-depth
study of a formerly neglected genre. The tool is easy to use, made even easier
with the Comic Strip Planning Sheet, a printable PDF that comic
creators can use to draft and revise their work before creating and printing
their final comics. After completing their comic, students have the ability to
print out and illustrate their final versions for feedback and assessment.
