Building Critical Literacy and Empathy with Graphic Novels Jason D. DeHart


Beginning with the assertion that educators can effectively use comics and graphic novels to develop readers’ critical literacy and empathy, DeHart explores the use of graphic novels across grade levels in a wide range of topics and themes. Taking When Stars Are Scattered by Victoria Jamieson and Omar Mohamed as a recurring focal text, DeHart argues that critical


conversations can be opened up through well-chosen graphic novels. The book features recommended titles, insights from graphic novel authors and creators, and lesson ideas.

Nonfiction Writers Dig Deep


50 Award-Winning Children’s Book Authors Share the Secret of Engaging Writing Melissa Stewart, editor


Some of today's most celebrated writers for children share essays on a critical part of the writing process that is often left out of classroom instruction. To craft engaging nonfiction, professional writers

By scrutinizing the information they collect to make their own personal meaning, they create distinctive narratives. In addition to essays from mentor authors, this book includes tips, tools, teaching strategies, and activity ideas that will help students (1) choose a topic; (2) focus that topic; (3) analyze their research to find a personal connection.

Theater, Drama, and Reading


Transforming the Rehearsal Process into a Reading Process Judith Freeman Garey


Foreword by Sheridan Blau


Drawing on both the production aspects of theater and the generative learning elements of drama, Garey shows readers how to transform text from print to interaction, establishing a simple framework for how to


read as an actor who builds characters’ lives, a set designer who constructs context, and a director who generates action. This practical resource for all language arts teachers provides step-by- step examples from classroom practice, and demonstrates how the strategies achieve the Common Core State Standards.
