Historical Look at Graphic Novels

Graphic Novels from Chris Kowalski on Vimeo.



Discussion Questions:

1) Imagine that your parents have never read a graphic novel. What are some reading strategies that you would have to teach them so they could be successful reading a graphic novel?

2) Graphic novels can be used to help understand the mythical struggle of a "Hero's Journey". What character (do not pick Chirhiro) from a graphic novel that you have read goes through a "Hero's Journey"? What happened to them in their journey?

3) If we were to create a class graphic novel using the Greek Myths for our story line- which greek myth would you like us to make into a graphic novel? Why would you like us to make this myth?
