Graphic Novel Night

Last night was our Family Reading Night.  It was all about graphic novels.  First, students and parents got some background knowledge about comics and "sequential art" and lessons on how to read comics.  (It was really good for the grown-ups!)  :-)

Then kids had a number of options.  All the school library's graphic novels were out on tables for browsing.  From Boxcar Children to Toon-Books, from classics to moder novels adapted to graphic novel like Artemis Fowl and Alex Rider.

Everyone also was able to "watch" graphic novels on the Smart Board from Toon Books.  They have amazingly made all their books available online for FREE!  All the books are available at this online reader.

Kids were also able to create their own comics using our ToonDoo Spaces, available from ToonDoo.  Here are some examples of what we created:
