Today, Get Graphic is continuing to strive toward being a source of information on graphic novels and the part they can play in improving literacy. Visit this website often for up-to-date information about Get Graphic events, graphic novel news, and ideas on how to use graphic novels as a literacy tool.
Join the Banned Books Week Coalition and the National Council of Teachers of English at 5:00 p.m. CDT on September 28 for a special Banned Books Week Facebook Live event with author Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese, Boxers & Saints, Dragon Hoops)!
During this hourlong event, Yang will converse with NCTE member leaders Henry “Cody” Miller and Jung Kim, as well as moderators Lisa Fink (NCTE) and Karen Evans (Education Coordinator, CBLDF) about the censorship of his work, examine the importance of diverse literature, and discuss the use of comics in classrooms. You’ll have a chance to ask your questions during a short Q&A.
How will this work?
Take part in this free Booklist webinar, Friday July 24, at 1:00 CST, to learn more about some great middle grade and young adult graphic novels. Can't make the date? Register and watch it later.
