NO PREVIOUS READING OF MATERIAL IS REQUIRED. EXCERPTS WILL BE SENT TO YOU
BY ESSARP A WEEK BEFORE THE COURSE TAKES PLACE.
Teachers can choose to either read the graphic novels beforehand or attend the session in order to familiarize themselves with the authors via excerpts.
• Smile by Raina Telgemeier: Raina just wants to be a normal sixth grader. But one night after Girl Scouts she trips and falls, severely injuring her two front teeth, and what follows is a long and frustrating journey with on-again, off-again braces, surgery, embarrassing headgear, and even a retainer with fake teeth attached. And on top of all that, there’s still more to deal with: a major earthquake, boy confusion, and friends who turn out to be not so friendly.(Goodreads)
• Sisters by Raina Telgemeier: Raina can’t wait to be a big sister. But once Amara is born, things aren’t quite how she expected them to be. Amara is cute, but she’s also a cranky, grouchy baby, and mostly prefers to play by herself. Their relationship doesn’t improve much over the years, but when a baby brother enters the picture and later, when something doesn’t seem right between their parents, they realize they must figure out how to get along. (Goodreads)
• El Deafo by Cece Bell: Starting at a new school is scary, even more so with a giant hearing aid strapped to your chest! At her old school, everyone in Cece's class was deaf. Here she is different. She is sure the kids are staring at the Phonic Ear, the powerful aid that will help her hear her teacher. Too bad it also seems certain to repel potential friends. Then Cece makes a startling Discovery: she can hear her teacher not just in the classroom, but anywhere her teacher is in school! This is power. Maybe even superpower! Cece is on her way to becoming El Deafo, Listener for All. But the funny thing about being a superhero is that it's just another way of feeling different... and lonely. (Goodreads)
• American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang: All Jin Wang wants is to fit in. When his family moves to a new neighbourhood, he suddenly finds that he's the only Chinese American student at his school. To make matters worse, he falls in love with an all-American girl. Born to rule over all the monkeys in the world, the story of the Monkey King is one of the oldest and greatest Chinese fables. Adored by his subjects, master of the arts of kung-fu, he is the most powerful monkey on earth. But the Monkey King wants to be hailed as a god. Chin-Kee is the ultimate negative Chinese stereotype, and he's ruining his cousin Danny's life. Danny's a popular kid at school, but every year Chin-Kee comes to visit, Danny has to transfer to a new school to escape the shame. These three apparently unrelated tales come together with an unexpected twist. (Goodreads)

This course will be delivered in a workshop mode for participants to enrich their understanding of the texts with contributions from the group. The latter will discuss the target audience for each text, points of entry, textual interventions and intertextual links which can be established with other verbal or visual texts.
