My English IV and Honors English IV classes will end their semesters reading the Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel, Persepolis: A Childhood. That is, if we get books to read and analyze. Accompanying projects would include students' independent cultural expository writing to complete their senior writing portfolios where they would eventually story board their ideas. We would analyze the graphic novel genre and its occasionally discussed controversy- this specific author utilized the medium to make more of an impact. Was it more effective than mental imagery? Was the animation used appropriate for the content? Did the author reach their audience? Who did they hope to reach? What is your personal story that you think could bring awareness to a specific issue? How can you best communicate to reach your desired audience? These are some of the directions we will travel given the opportunity to study this literature.
