Introduction to Manga Article on GNR!!!

Hi everyone!

I hope you are all doing well.   Here are some updates on cool, awkward, and/or amazingly interesting stuff going on with comics and graphic novels in education!!! ... if that doesn't make you want to read on.......i don't know what else to write today!!! :)

1.  Recently, I wrote an introductory article for GraphicNovelReporter.com about manga.  

2.  I want to thank my good friend Dr. James Bucky Carter for summing up my exact feelings on the recent debacle with the International Reading Association.  The post I am referring to is dated March 31st.

3.  GraphicNovelReporter.com recently interviewed Francoise Mouly about Toon Books: some good insight for teachers who may just want to try early reader comics in the classroom.

Hope everyone is enjoying this first week of April!  Katie

If you want a fresh, honest, and RIGHT-ON perspective about the current state of graphic novels and their relationship to the standards, please read the-always brilliant comments of Dr. James Bucky Carter, from University of Texas El Paso.
