[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand why they introduced graphic novels. Often this is the key to encouraging some reluctant students to read. I used it on my 8 yr old son and he went from not being a reader to being a prolific one (actual chapter books). Sometimes you need these tools around for older kids who have not been encouraged. It doesn't mean the smart kids can't read Dostoyevsky in their spare time. [/quote] So they can include graphic novels in lit circles for reluctant readers. It is not an appropriate anchor text for an honors English class.[/quote] Why not? You can't just say "its not an appropriate anchor text" without giving some reasoning. Go ahead.[/quote] I want my kid reading novels (not graphic novels) for vocabulary acquisition. Graphic novels do a huge disservice to low income and ESL students.[/quote]
