The pairings and techniques explored in this book will unlock those immense benefits for today's teachers.  \u003cbr\u003eTeaching graphic novels helps us to break down the disciplinary distinction between Art and Literature, drawing on current trends in the Humanities to focus on making meaning through and interdisciplinary approach. As well as pairing classic texts with their adaptations, this book goes further, exploring more thematic pairings and how graphic novels can be paired with unrelated books to provide depth and historical context. Readers will find a wealth of teachable ideas, and specific advice on how to pair texts, from assessing the quality of adaptations to pairing for different learning outcomes. Theoretically sound and pedagogically engaging, this is an essential toolkit for using graphic novels and canonical literature to reinvigorate the literature classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eBill Boerman-Cornell is Professor of Education at Trinity Christian College, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTimothy Hendrickson is Associate Professor of English and department chair at Trinity Christian College, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristine Scholma is Associate Professor of Special Education at Trinity Christian College, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKristin Bolkema is affiliated faculty of Literature and Languages at Trinity Christian College, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26 November 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350548565\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.76\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51936237420684,"sku":"9781350548565","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_a92923f9-9410-4324-8bb8-b058441d535a.jpg?v=1786016152","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781350548565","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
