I personally haven't had very much experience with graphic novels. However, I am extremely excited about The Graphic Canon! After looking through Dr. Sean's copy of it, I was fascinated by all of the stories that were in them. I am still waiting to get them from the bookstore, but I can't wait to permanently have them for my classroom someday so that those who have a hard time understanding stories by just reading them, hopefully they will have fun reading them out of The Graphic Canon.
I tried looking up information about graphic novels, and pretty much what I found was that graphic novels are pretty much just book-length comics. When I kept looking, I thought it was cool that there are all types of different ones to choose from. The range of the novels go from books for boys and girls and by grade level just like regular books and I think that's amazing. I hope that when I have students who struggle with reading, I can see if a graphic novel would work better for them so that they have a visual of what is going on in the plot and they don't get bored just reading a regular book. I know so many people who have trouble getting through books because they lose their train of thought or get bored because they don't enjoy reading. I hope I get the chance to introduce graphic novels to my high schoolers someday.
