Teaching graphic novels in the English classroom: pedagogical possibilities of multimodal literacy engagement

This collection highlights the diverse ways comics and graphic novels are used in English and literature classrooms, whether to develop critical thinking or writing skills, paired with a more traditional text, or as literature in their own right.

From fictional stories to non-fiction works such as biography/memoir, history, or critical textbooks, graphic narratives provide students with a new way to look at the course material and the world around them.
