The aim is for students to draw, through guided interaction with the resources, their own conclusions about the value of picture books and illustrated books across the secondary curriculum. An alphabet book that is about endangered animal species. Mature, Serious Themes and Treatment Lilith Norman and Noela Young. Understanding Satire, Parody and Irony Gender roles in the family. The Bible in Graphic format for teenagers.
Books teach about the world they represent.
They also teach about form, literature and language, and the ways stories can be told. I hope that you will always be both aware of the potential of this special genre in secondary education and constantly on the lookout for books which suit your classes and their learning goals.
