Sharing the Blog love and love of graphic novels!

I am going to begin sharing my classroom activities and reflections about teaching comics/graphic novels in my blog here at MCpop. I teach 12th graders in Massachusetts. I created an English course called The Graphic Novel ---graphic novels all year, every day, all the time!!! It is a required course as part of our grade twelve ELA curriculum. Students can choose to take my course, gothic lit, global lit, poetry, or AP English. All courses are offered for both college prep and honors credit. FYI Graphic novel has the highest enrollment!!! I have 138 students- 5 sections of graphic novel! I am in graphic novel heaven because I get to teach and talk about them with students every day!!! (I can't say I miss classic literature and all-print texts yet, though I do still love them!)
