Reading the article, I was just loving that the author was helping us future teachers with almost any problem with kids I could think of. The “unmotivated”, the kids who don’t get why we even read certain books, and more. They just went into amazing detail on how beficitial a graphic novel can be. The use of pictures give the child a sense of ease because, at least for me as well, reading a book with all those pictures makes it seem less challenging, and like we aren’t reading a full novel.

 

In my novel “Smile”, she included everything a graphic novel needed. I loved this book. It flowed so nicely, super easy to follow, and helped someone like me who usually creates a picture in their head when reading, put that picture in front of you. I loved being able to read like a mini movie. If you took out the narration, I would have been fine because sometimes, it wasn’t even necessary.
