What do comics (and graphic novels)
have to do with the classroom?
Everything!
Here are 3 reasons why comics should be in
your classroom and part of every
library outreach to schools…
Background by Timothy Goodman

Why Comics?
1) Comics can help students learn
better.
Many studies (like this one from
the
University of Oklahoma:
http://bit.ly/UOcomicstudy) have
shown that many students learn
concepts in deeper depth when
given a text with graphics versus
a text-only book.

www.corestandards.org
Why Comics?
2) Comics are in the Common Core.
Really.
Common Core State Standards
emphasize multimodal, multi-format
learning, along with examining an
issue or topic from different
perspectives and depictions--and
yes, graphic novels are actually in
the Standards.
(See C.C.S.S.ELA-Literacy.R.L.5.7)

Why Comics?
3) Comics have their own
language.
Word balloons, panels, color
choice, artist style all reflect
different information about
actions, perspectives, and
motivation.
Each comic has a wealth of
detailed information embedded in
its text waiting for students to
decode!

The document provides a summary of a book intended for high school students wondering about friendship and making mistakes. It takes place in 1942 at a British boarding school during World War 2, following introverted protagonist Gene Forrester as he becomes unlikely friends with the opposite Finny, but grows jealous of Finny's talents and takes their private competition too far. The story has been adapted into multiple films, including a recent American version that captures the gripping nature of the plot without British accents.

Ender’s Game Presentation

Timotheezy

The document provides a summary of the plot and themes of the novel "Ender's Game". It discusses how in the future, Earth narrowly avoided destruction by an alien invasion. The government gained control over families and raised children like Ender from a young age to preemptively fight future threats. Ender is a strategic genius who attends a military academy to train to defend Earth. He defeats the aliens but does not know he engaged in actual war until it is over. The document examines what cultural fears the story reveals and warns that societies can become corrupt when compromising morality, even for security reasons. It relates themes like the debate over using force against threats like ISIS and questions about personal freedom and authority over one's life.

The document provides background information on author Robert Cormier and his novel The Chocolate War. It discusses Cormier's life experiences and influences, as well as themes in his writing around institutions of power and the dark side of society. The document outlines characters and plot points in The Chocolate War and examines questions around the book's controversial content and whether depicting reality merits censorship. It also briefly summarizes two of Cormier's other novels, The Chocolate War, and I Am the Cheese.

Ender's game plotline

robert-li

Ender's Game follows Ender Wiggin, a gifted child recruited for Battle School to train to lead Earth's forces against an alien threat called the Buggers. At Battle School, Ender rises through the ranks and proves himself a talented strategist, though he also makes enemies. He is later revealed to be fighting in an actual war, not simulations, and unwittingly wipes out the entire Bugger species. Upon learning the truth, Ender breaks down, as he never intended to actually kill but only did what he felt he had to do.

A Study in Sherlock: Bridging the Digital Wilds & the Language Classroom

Shannon Sauro

This reflective practice presentation builds on prior work that has looked at the use of fandom tasks (Sauro, 2014) for language learning. Such tasks include those that focus on fanfiction, defined by Jamison (2013) as "writing that continues, interrupts, reimagines, or just riffs on stories and characters other people have already written about" (p. 17). Initial investigation of fanfiction in the advanced English classroom has shown that collaborative fanfiction tasks that makes use of blog-based role-play to tell a missing moment from a story can be useful in bridging both language and literary learning (Sauro & Sundmark, in press 2016). However, although such tasks borrow from digital and linguistic practices found in online fan communities, the resulting stories do not fully reflect the linguistic or literary norms of the fanfiction in the digital wilds. This was a concern for language learners whose interest in publishing their online fanfiction was to communicate with online fans and fan communities. The means of addressing this may lie in better integrating fan practices and fan voices in the tasks themselves and in actual classroom practice. This presentation, therefore, explores the revision and implementation of collaborative fanfiction tasks and instructions that do just that. Building on previous blog-based fanfiction projects, the current project, A Study in Sherlock, was carried out as part of a course for students in the teacher education program at a Swedish university who were specializing in teaching English at the secondary school level. Students self-organized into small groups of 4-6 to write and publish online a collaborative mystery inspired by a Sherlock Holmes story. As part of their preparation, students were guided in the reading of several Sherlock Holmes mysteries, but were also required to read Sherlock Holmes fanfiction that had been identified by online fans as representative of the tropes and specific fan genres found in this type of fan writing. In addition, online several fanfiction writers were contacted to share writing activities they used when helping other novice fanfiction writers and these were incorporated into class instruction. Once completed, these stories were shared with online Sherlock Holmes fan communities. Analysis of the language, content, and formatting of the 16 completed online stories as well as the reaction of fans, in particular to the six stories that were published to online fanfiction archives, revealed advantages for integrating fan practices into task design and teaching to support greater mastery of fanfiction genres in a manner more likely to reach (fan) readers and thereby link the digital wilds with the language classroom.

Fan Fiction and Fan Practices: Integrating the Digital Wilds and the Language...

Shannon Sauro

Online fan communities and fan sites are home to many different kinds of fandom tasks and projects, perhaps the best known of which is fan fiction These are stories that reinterpret and remix the events, characters and settings found in fiction and popular media. Other online fandom tasks include translation projects such as fan-subbing, amateur subtitling of movies and television series carried out online by teams of fans in different countries, and spoiling, in which fan networks track down and share information via social media for the purpose of speculating about a television show or movie’s plotline before it is released (Duffet, 2013). Research in applied linguistics on fandom practices has explored how youth have used fan fiction, in particular, to foster identity and second language development in the digital wilds (see for example Leppänen, 2008 and Thorne & Black, 2011). However, less attention has been paid to the older language learners in online media fandoms who also represent a type of language learner engaged in autonomous and long-term extramural language learning (Sundqvist, 2009) in the digital wilds. Moving from the wilds to the classroom, more recent research has begun to explore the domestication of fan fiction tasks in formal classroom contexts (Sauro & Sundmark, in press 2016) and which also holds promise for the design of technology-mediated tasks to support the learning of both language and literature. This talk, therefore, discusses findings from case-study research with older fans as well as classroom-based research to explore how these fandom tasks and fan practices are used to facilitate the development of linguistic, literary, and digital competences both in the wilds and in the classroom.

“I’m going to get online and I’m going to talk to people and learn English”: ...

Shannon Sauro

This presentations reports on a case study of the informal L2 language and digital literacy development of an adult fan. The focal participant for this case study, Steevee, is a female fan in her early 30s originally from a small city in eastern Germany who first entered online media fandom six years prior with the goal of developing her English in order to live and work in London. Data analyzed include semi-structured interviews, email correspondence, and analysis of Steevee’s fan-based social media accounts on Tumblr and Twitter. Findings reveal how Steevee’s heavy involvement in the fan practice of spoiling, defined as the discovery and sharing of plot elements (Duffet, 2013), during filming of the television series Sherlock facilitated Steevee’s English and digital literacy development for the purpose of living an working in an English-speaking context. This study, therefore, documents the process through which an adult L2 English user makes use of popular culture, technology, and online media fandom to engage in informal language learning.

Anime history and subculture

sushux

Anime has had a growing presence in America since the 1960s-1970s when early import films were dubbed and edited for American audiences. By the 1980s and 1990s, official releases of popular anime like Akira and Sailor Moon as well as fan-translated works increased American interest. While distribution was initially a problem, the growth of online platforms and licensed translations in the 2000s helped solve this issue. Anime is now studied academically beyond just Japan studies.

Graphic Novels

srpklc

Graphic novels differ from comic books in that they are longer narrative works bound like books rather than monthly serialized issues. While comics were originally for entertainment, graphic novels address more serious topics for adult audiences. A key early graphic novel was 1978's 'A Contract with God' which helped establish the format as a serious literary medium, like 1986's 'Maus' which won a Pulitzer Prize.

Comics in the Classroom

1. Comics in the Classroom MyLibraryNYC / SASB Celeste Auditorium / May 16, 2015 Amie Wright (amiewright@nypl.org) Thomas Knowlton (thomasknowlton@nypl.org) Background by Timothy Goodman

2. What do comics (and graphic novels) have to do with the classroom? Everything! Here are 3 reasons why comics should be in your classroom and part of every library outreach to schools… Background by Timothy Goodman

3. Why Comics? 1) Comics can help students learn better. Many studies (like this one from the University of Oklahoma: http://bit.ly/UOcomicstudy) have shown that many students learn concepts in deeper depth when given a text with graphics versus a text-only book.

4. www.corestandards.org Why Comics? 2) Comics are in the Common Core. Really. Common Core State Standards emphasize multimodal, multi-format learning, along with examining an issue or topic from different perspectives and depictions--and yes, graphic novels are actually in the Standards. (See C.C.S.S.ELA-Literacy.R.L.5.7)

5. “Emanat Word balloons Panels Captions Why Comics? 3) Comics have their own language. Word balloons, panels, color choice, artist style all reflect different information about actions, perspectives, and motivation. Each comic has a wealth of detailed information embedded in its text waiting for students to decode!
