Gene Yang has introduced a new way to incorporate visual aids within a classroom. Through her success it is evident the importance of bridging a gap between what we watch and what we read. By using cartoons in the classroom our students will have the opportunity to go back and refer to these visual aids at any point in time, offering permanency.
I am very interested in this method because when I think of math it is hard for me to understand how art can be applied within the classroom. The cartoons seem to work for all subject areas and support learning positively. I believe this will dramatically impact students that are visual learners especially in areas such as math and science. Children that struggle with reading are also finding success which makes cartoons an excellent learning tool. This new style is current making learning fun and easy.

Xan...there are so many ways to use graphic novels and comics in the classroom. There is a great deal of literacy research that proves the benefits of comics and graphic novels in beginning and struggling readers. I'm glad you will find ways to incorporate these in your classroom...there are more and more teacher resources available for using them in the classroom.
