Word of Mouth (A Body of Work): (iv) The Language of Comics
How do you define what a comic is? Can the comic form have any educational value? Do comics and graphic novels have grammars, and if they do, what is that grammar or those grammars? Is there cross-cultural variation in comics and graphic novels, and what might the differences be? Can comics report the news? What is the value of sketchnotes to your students? These and other questions are addressed in this page, the fourth page in our Word of Mouth, non-literary body of work. Even if you decide not to work with the body of work, we are confident that you will find something here to support your teaching of English A: Language and Literature.
