More resources.... I admit that I feel like I am completely idea and theory overloaded and totally frustrated by my lack of practical experience. So much so that I really didn't anticipate having another resource to share but I did think of something after all. I have blogged a lot (probably too much! ) on the use historical fiction in the classroom, and I thought of another possible type of historical fiction, which I did not include yet: graphic novels. Some people think that a graphic novel is just a fancy name for a comic book, and we could have a discussion on the possible difference between both but I don't really consider myself expert enough, so I will concentrate on what I do know which is that there is some great historical fiction written in a graphics/text format . Hopefully, opening up the reading list to include certain historically accurate graphic novels would be one more way to peak the interests of a wider range of students. The particular graphic novel that I was thinking about is titled Louis Riel: A Comic Strip Biography, by Chester Brown. Maus is another great one about WWII by Art Spiegalman. I also found a link with some more options to look at:
