"While comics and graphic novels have made their way into classrooms and established literary circles, many educators are not aware of enriching ways they can help us develop innovative, independent thinkers and learners, those who see and hear something different from what they know and respond with curiosity, those who understand how they learn best and what they need from us to live the lives they want to lead. This book addresses common challenges and problems with leveraging the medium's full potential" -- Provided by publisher.
