Graphic Novel

Transcript: Graphic Novels benefit students in the classroom in many ways. They not only display text but visual aid which can improve student's reading skills and provide them with a challenge. Graphic novels provide many visual aid devices that help engage readers and help them better prepare for the novel as a whole. As Lisa Cohen states " They begin to find hidden connections between the text and visuals and discover the ways in which the visuals interact with each other" (Cohen). As they find hidden connections with the text and images it will soon help them understand what the author is trying to achieve through the images and text. Graphic novels have been proven to help readers who struggle reading and can't seem to comprehend what they read. Lisa Cohen states "Graphic novels allow for a new approach to diction, imagery, syntax, structure, and language. For example, many graphic authors frequently emphasize words by making them boldface, italic, or underlined, practices applied sparingly in traditional texts" (Cohen). Having visuals there for the reader to see can help them pick apart each page of what the author is trying to get across. Readers tend to want to read graphic novels more then traditional texts because there is less to read and graphic novels seem less intimidating. Having visuals rather then text alone can help readers make sense of words and the story as a whole. People tend to think graphic novels as basic comic books but in reality they can require more complex reading skills and unique style of thinking of the story as a whole. Shelly Peterson author of Teaching with Graphic Novels in Grades 4-12 classroom states "Graphic novels require you to analyze the discrete bits of visual and print information on each page and synthesize the bits to make sense of the whole page" (Peterson). Requiring the reader to have an active role in comprehending the author's motives and particular viewpoints. The difference between graphic novels and print texts is that in order to comprehend what is going on in the novel the reader must look at the detail in both illustrations and the print to interpret what the author is trying to convey in the novel. Graphic novels have been on the rise in recent years. Teachers have turned to using graphic novels in the classroom rather than traditional print texts. Graphic novels benefit students in many ways. They not only display text but visual aid which can improve student's reading skills and provide them with a challenge. Having the ability to achieve these things simply by reading a graphic novel as made graphic novels a top choice for teachers to use in the classroom. Graphic novels popularity will continue to grow in today's society and will continue to benefit students in the classroom. Work Cited Miller, Andrew.

The concept of the "graphic novel" crystallized 25 years ago with the publication of Will Eisner's "Contract with God." -http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,547796,00.html What goes into a graphic novel? fictional story that is presented in comic-strip format and presented as a book A graphic novelist uses the same literary devices a short story novelist would A graphic novel is: storytelling, escape outlet of expression/art provides a window back into the world we live in -Scott McCloud Graphic novels are a living entity.

And it does, as comic books/graphic novels function much as a novel would. ie. concerned with storytelling etc. The beginnings of graphic novels have been around as early as cave paintings (cc) photo by Jakob Montrasio Storyboarding Visuals and Design The Apocalypse Beginning, Middle, End smell, touch, taste, hearing. Graphic novels can only give you visual, so the trick of the novelist is to discover a way to engage the senses visually.
