Let's Get Graphic!  A Webquest for exploring graphic novels and their place in middle school libraries.

From “The Secret Origin of Good Readers: A Resource Book” some ideas about the role of graphic novels and their benefits:

• Develop an increased interest in reading generally • Increase literacy • Develop language skills (wide and varied vocabulary) • Create interest in a variety of different genres • Simulate creativity • Develop art appreciation • Develop the ability to discuss art and writing • Increase the understanding of visual literacy (gaining meaning  from images) • Improve understanding of pop culture and other media.
