Lindsey Guffey Sarah Hoyle Graphic Nonfiction Title: Satchel Paige: Striking Out Jim Crow Satchel Paige: Striking Out Jim Crow is a graphic novel that describes the life of a sharecropper under the control of landowners, that lives in a small town with his son where the Jim Crow laws are in full force. He had once played in the African American baseball league and actually played against Satchel Paige. The story shows segregation among the people in the sharecropper?s town and the tragic events that were occurring there, like lynching. As the story progresses, the landowners and other whites in the town schedule a baseball game against Satchel Paige and his team. During the game, the African Americans are ridiculed against and it really shows how awful these times were. In the end, Satchel Paige does a remarkable thing and shows not only the town, but the whole world, that eras like the Jim Crow period should have never existed. The graphics in this novel are very simple and are done in black/white/gray shades. The pages almost look like they have been painted with water colors. The story in and of itself is a strength. We thought it was fabulous that the realness of Jim Crow laws could be portrayed through a story that deals with baseball. It was truly an inspirational story, even though it did discuss some of the tragedies that were occurring during this time. The artwork was also great. The drawings were done so simply, yet effectively. It was not too much that it took away from the story. Another strength was that the novel is only around 85 pages. It is short enough that kids will be able to finish it very quickly, all while proving the point about Jim Crow. The only real aspect that might make the book hard to teach is the use of African American Vernacular English. Some students might find it difficult to read and follow along with some of the phrases that are used, but it can definitely be done. We will just have to work hard to make sure they can follow along easily. It was really a great graphic novel and this is the only thing that we could note. Satchel Paige: Striking Out Jim Crow could be used in conjunction with teaching eighth grade Social Studies. In eighth grade students learn about North Carolina history, which includes slavery and the Jim Crow laws. Reading this graphic novel allows students to better understand the conditions of the segregated South from 1929 ? 1944. The novel reveals the injustices that African Americans faced during this time and uses the All-American sport of baseball to add interest for the elimination of the Jim Crow laws and segregation in the South. The novel addresses North Carolina history content in such a way that students can truly enjoy learning about it, and they actually may not even realize they are learning at all! Using the famous professional baseball player, Satchel Paige, in a story about life for African Americans, particularly the sharecropper, during the Jim Crow era in the South is a fantastic way to captivate the students? interests. The novel addresses historical content such as sharecropping, racial segregation and the Jim Crow laws. It also allows students to see how African Americans felt when faced such cruelty and mistreatment during this time period. We truly think middle school students will enjoy reading Satchel Paige: Striking Out Jim Crow. Since the book has a focus on baseball and includes the famous baseball player, Satchel Paige, we think middle school boys especially will enjoy reading the book; it brings in an element of something they can relate to. I think that even middle school girls will enjoy reading the book, as well. I would definitely recommend using Satchel Paige: Striking Out Jim Crow in eighth grade Social Studies. The novel offers an interesting way to look at an important piece of history.

I chose to read The Wright Brothers and the Airplane by Xavier Niz. This book tells the story of how Orville and Wilbur Wright came to be the first people in history to pilot a powered aircraft. The story begins when the brothers are young boys, and it describes the events in their lives and specific details about the types of aircraft they built. All of the graphics are in color and are large enough to allow the reader to see the details. The story is told in boxes that explain the important details and dialogue boxes that show conversations between the characters of the story. This book has many strengths, especially for middle school students. For example, the book is short enough that it will not take most students very long to read (an important detail, not to be overlooked). Also, the book's artwork boxes are large enough to ensure that the reader will not get lost on the page. Other strengths of this book are an Interesting Facts section and a glossary of flight terms that were used in the story. The only weakness that I see with this book is that there are a lot of dates, which might get confusing. If the book were reprinted, I would like to see a timeline of events added to the back of the book. This book could be used very effectively in any middle grades classroom. The book specifically addresses the social studies content area because 8th grade students study I believe that most middle school students would respond very positively to this book, but I think it would appeal more to males than females. When I asked an 8th grade female to look the book over, she said that she didn't care for it and probably wouldn't choose to read it. She found "comics" to be too confusing because there is a lot of reading up and down the page rather than the usual left to right. She also told me that she only knew one person that read "comics," and he read While there will be students who dislike graphic novels, I think this title could go over well if it were used as supplementary reading to a social studies textbook. The fact that it appears to be a very short book would be the biggest draw for most students. However, once they began to read it, they would find it pretty interesting and the graphics would help keep their attention. I would definitely recommend this book to pre-service and in-service middle school teachers; however, I would make sure that it was supplemented with another text. The book's ability to connect many content areas and subjects makes it worthwhile to have in all core classes. It would also make a great addition to a bookshelf that students could access when they had free time--at least for the students who like graphic novels! --Melissa Zerbs Posted at 11:21AM Apr 24, 2008 by Melissa Zerbs in Graphic Nonfiction Reviews | Comments[0] Review of my graphic nonfiction title: Fallout
My graphic novel is "Fallout" and deals with the creation of the atomic bomb, as well as the political and social issues that arose after the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I don't know what kind of graphics and artwork were used. One weakness I perceived was that there is no color used throughout the book. After reading, I do think now that this book is more suited for a social science class since the scientific aspects of the bomb are only mentioned briefly. I was disappointed by this book and would not use it in my science class. It seemed boring even for my age; I would not want to know how boring it would be for the kids. This book goes too much into the political aspects and really does not explore the main characters in depth.

Nevermore: A Graphic Adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's Short Stories by Various Artists/Authors This graphic novel is a compilation of several of Edgar Allan Poe's most famous poems and short stories. The selection of graphic novels that would be educationally appealing and not necessarily Manga was surprisedly slim when I began my search for the ultimate graphic novel. As I scanned the shelves, the eye-catching title of this graphic novel immediately jumped out at me. I immediately recognized the title from one of the most memorable Edgar Allan Poe poems, The Raven. As I picked it up to scan through the pictures, I was impressed! The graphics reminded me of an early Marvel comic and before each section, the artist consideratly provides a brief summary of the selected poem or short story so that readers will have a better understanding of the plot and graphics. Robert Corman's foreward provides readers with what to expect from the various artists, just in case avid Poe readers are surprised by the modern twist that has been given to his short stories and poems. Although it is a wonderful and educational graphic novel, I would have liked to see more color images. I feel that it would have made it more visually appealing to young readers. Not to be sexist/ feminist but I felt that most of the graphic novel was very masculine so it may be more challenging to sell this to a middle school girl (but who knows, I may be wrong). There is a section that provides information about Edgar Allan Poe and his style of writing, but it isn't quite as detailed and that will be important when trying to introduce this author in a Language Arts class. In 6th grade, I remember reading "The Raven" and I feel that this book would have been a good way to reemphasize Poe's work, famous and not-so famous. Teachers can use this book to teach about audience, themes, types of literary genres, setting, imagery, etc. The modern twist that has been given to the short stories and poems will make it much easier for middle school students to read, follow and understand. I would definitely recommend this book for any English/Language Arts teacher to teach literature from different time periods, style and other literary terms. Personally, I didn't like every piece in this graphic novel, but I definitely chose a favorite and thoroughly enjoyed reading it!

Graphic Nonfiction Review
Graphic Novel - Marie Curie and Radioactivity 1. This graphic novel is about the life of Marie Curie and her discovery of radioactivity and the elements radium and polonium. This book is sort of like a comic strip with ?bubbles? telling the story from the character?s point of view, and it also has boxes with facts throughout the story. 2. I feel the major strength of this book is that it isn?t a textbook. It tells the story of Marie Curie in a way that students can learn in a more entertaining way. 3. The major weakness of this book is that students may perceive it as being too ?babyish? for them. 4. This book goes along with the 8th Grade Science Standard Course of Study. This book could also be used with Sixth Grade Social Studies Competency Goal 7 that ?assesses connections between historical events and contemporary issues since Marie Curie helped France in the war. 5. The book does a great job of displaying the facts in a more entertaining way. It will be a great way of breaking up the normal text readings. 6. I believe that students would not take this assignment seriously because they may perceive it as childish. I would recommend that teachers use this book during class to be sure that students actually read it. I think that some of the students may not want to admit it, but they will enjoy this reading because it is like a Superman comic book. 7. I would definitely recommend this book. I think that students could definitely respond to this book in a positive way because it is a different form of learning the material. -Deanna Godbout Posted at 11:44PM Apr 23, 2008 by Deanna Godbout in Graphic Nonfiction Reviews | Comments[0] Graphic Nonfiction Title Review by Laura Smith

My Graphic Novel Title is Runaways Vol. 1 by Brian K Vaughan. Seems cool! I'll let you know how it turns out (may have to read all three volumes to get the entire story, though). Review:1. Summary: Six teenagers come together in a fight to save the world from their Supervillian parents. They use their owns gifts of magic, superhero gadgets, and spell casting to try to infiltrate their parents' plans. Something goes awry and one the teens dies (due to his betrayal to the Runaways). By the end of the story members of the group have left (either by death, choice, or theft) and other groups have come to the aid of the Runaways, leaving you on edge until you read the rest of the trilogy. 2. The strengths of the novel include the artwork and plot. Since the novel was created by Marvel Comics, the graphics are pretty awesome. The story itself was great due to the twists and turns that were involved. 3. A weakness of the novel is that some of the events seem unbelievable (it's a comic about superheroes, so that's to be expected, I guess). 4. & 5. This novel is like a futuristic version of The Outsiders, so I would use it for 7th grade Language Arts. This novel could be used to teach students how to infer and make predictions. It could also be used to teach them about different genres of literature and how to analyze what they are reading. 6. I think that students will love this book because they would be getting to read a comic book for school (something many of them probably wouldn't think they were able to do). Since the book is focused on teenagers and the difficulties they face with building their morals, I think students would identify with this because they are usually having to make a decision between what is right and what is cool. 7. I would recommend this book, but I would be cautious about the content (a girl being sacrificed, teenage love, etc.)--so I would probably seek approval by the principal and see if he/she thinks that a permission slip should be signed before the students are allowed to read it. ~Malissa Braxton Posted at 09:38PM Apr 23, 2008 by Malissa Braxton in Graphic Novel Reviews | Comments[0] Review of The Arrival
Graphic Novel Review Shaun Tan takes his readers on an adventure on the sole basis of letting the reader decide his/her interpretation of the book. His graphic novel, The Arrival is made up entirely of pictures that are strategically placed in such a way to secure the meaning of the story. The graphics in this book are amazing, they invoke the emotions of the characters within and transmit that emotion to whom ever is reading. Shaun Tan has a great talent of illustrating the issues important in today?s society through the depiction within his books. His graphics allow young readers to gain a better understanding of certain complex issues that surround them even if they are not fully aware of the issues. The story takes the reader on the journey of an immigrant who has left his family and everything that is familiar to him and come to a foreign land. The Arrival shows the very real issue of immigration through the eyes of an immigrant and the strange world they see upon arrival to a new place. Unlike the stereotypical portrayal of immigrants arriving at Ellis Island and the statue of liberty being figuratively lit up in the foreground with joyful expressions on the faces of immigrants as they arrive on a ship to America; this book shows a different reaction to coming to America, that of one where the immigrants are scared, alone, and unsure of what to expect. The strength of this book is the manifestation of emotions that are invoked through pictures; I am going to use this book when I enter the classroom. I will be certified in both Language Arts/English and Social Studies, which I have a passion for both and this book is a great resource for each of those areas. This book would serve as a great window into the eyes and perspective of immigrants to any country, Social Studies covers the history of migration and gives the raw material behind the reason and results of migration. Children respond well to any subject that they can relate to their personal lives or experience an emotion related to the information learned. This book provides the opportunity for the students to couple the curriculum of immigrants to a new country with the feelings generated by a character in that situation, from his perspective. The Arrival is a multi-dimensional resource for Language Arts/English because the book has no words the only way to gain an understanding is to inference the meaning of the pictures. As the story progresses, the reader has to make connections based off of previous pictures to gain a greater understanding of the meaning. The Arrival provides a great chance for a teacher to incorporate a writing portion in correlation with the use of the book. Having the class translate the meaning of the graphics and put the book into words is a great way to give them a chance to be creative. An activity such as this would lead to a great culminating activity where students could to present his/her interpretation of what the book was about. Each interpretation would be unique in some way and it would lend the opportunity for a great interactive discussion. One major theme in this book is the idea of belonging. Middle school students deal with this emotion on a daily basis. Giving students the opportunity to be engaged in a book that depicts an understanding of what they are going through on a personal level, is a great tool to connect to children while teaching them important information and skills that they will need to succeed in the future. Throughout life people are faced with feeling of wanting to belong and this book relates to how any person of any age might deal with that issue. This book helps to shed light on the fact that everyone has a different understanding of life and regardless of their background or beliefs, everyone deserves to treated as an equal and not be made to feel like an alien in a new world. Students will relate well to this topic because in middle school they are faced with this notion on a daily basis. By reading this book, it has the potential to open up a discussion to those feelings and give the students the opportunity to share times when they have felt both a sense of belonging as well as a sense of loneliness. Adolescents love to talk and to have the opportunity to share their feelings; this book gives them the chance to do that. After completing the reading of this book a great follow-up activity would be having the students write a narrative about times in their lives where they have felt similar to the main character in The Arrival. This book should be used by both pre-service and in-service teachers. The Arrival would lend the opportunity for new teachers to understand the feeling of being nervous and not belonging. A pre-service/new teacher could implement this book in the classroom to engage students in the themes and issues that are addressed each of the pages. This book is a great resource to lead to an interactive discussion on the many themes found within the illustrations. Graphic novels are a great resource that needs to be facilitated in the classroom and all teachers should be open to implementing them into their curriculum.

The Apollo 13 Mission book review by Jason West
This is a well written story. It is not very long so students should be able to complete it fairly quickly. The story concludes on page 27. The following 2 pages gives the reader more details about the mission than what was mentioned in the story. The last 3 pages conclude with: Glossary, Internet Sites, Read More, Bibliography, and Index. The artwork is equivalent to modern day comic books. The story begins with the crew waving good bye to their work associates as they load on board the space craft. The rocket is then blasted into space on the way to the moon. While in space, they heard an explosion. They looked out their space craft window and saw gas leaking to outer space. The computers were beginning to read low levels of oxygen in tanks 1 and 2. To make matters worse, fuel cells 1 and 3 were dead. The mission to the moon was now called off. Survival and returning home was their new mission. Returning home would be no easy matter. They were scared to fire the service module engine because they feared it may be damage. They also feared to slingshot around the moon because the oxygen level would not last the entire trip. After 5.5 hours of debating, they decided to fire the engines for 30 seconds and sling shot around the moon. They began to ration their supply. Each astronaut was only allowed 6 ounces of water each day. The space craft was moving too slow to make it back to earth in time so they fired the engines again. They were now traveling fast enough to make it in time; however, a new problem had occurred. Carbon Dioxide levels were rising to dangerous levels. The story keeps the student's attention by the constant problems NASA is forced into. You never know how they will defeat the problem, and when they do, a new one rises. The book also does an excellent job in giving the students more information about the mission if they choose to go further with it. One example is two pages titled "More about Apollo 13." Another example is a list of internet sites students may go to learn more about Apollo 13. The book also does an excellent job defining words in the story in the glossary section. The only improvement I can see that would make the book better is for the author to include more pages in the section "More about Apollo 13." Two pages just aren't enough to fill my appetite. The author does however give us some web sites to further our investigations. This is fine for me; however, for students who don't yet have access to the web may be left unfulfilled. This story goes well with the 6th grade science curriculum. Objective 4.01 says, "Water, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and oxygen are substances cycled between the living and non-living environments." The non living environment in this story is obviously the space capsule. The water levels were low, and the carbon dioxide level was rising. In Objective 5.04 it says, "Describe space explorations and the understandings gained from them including: N.A.S.A., Technologies used to explore space, Historic timeline, Apollo mission to the moon, Space Shuttle, International Space Station, and Future goals." Notice it even mentions the Apollo mission in the objective. Objective 6.02 says, "Analyze heat flow through materials or across space from warm objects to cooler objects until both objects are at equilibrium." In our story, the equilibrium settled to 38 degrees. In Objective 7.02 it says, "Investigate factors that determine the growth and survival of organisms including: temperature range, water, and energy." Notice that the astronauts lost a total of 31.5 pounds in 6 days because of the compromised environment. The story also goes well for the 7th grade science curriculum it goes well also. Objective 1.05 says, "Analyze evidence to: Explain observations, and make inferences and predictions. The astronauts observed an explosion and gas leaking. This led them to take immediate action. Objective 2.02 says, "Use information systems to: Identify scientific needs, human needs, or problems that are subject to technological solution." I do believe middle school students will respond rather positively to this book. First of all it is short enough to read in one sitting. Secondly it has cool graphics. And finally it keeps you in suspense the entire story. I do highly recommend this book for consideration in middle school reading. This book will give real life examples of the many concepts covered in class.

Thomas Jefferson: Great American Christine Fischer 1. Summary- This short novel is very simple and easy to follow, as it is a biography of the life of Thomas Jefferson. The novel begins with Jefferson's life when he was a young boy on a farm and follows him through all the stages of his boyhood, college years, time he served the government and Senate, and finally his terms as President of the United States. I liked how the book was seperated into "chapters" even though it was short. The chapters represent each chapter in Jefferson's life, so they prepare the reader for what is to follow. The graphics were very clear and interesting. For each picture (about 3-4 on each page) there is a side note about what is going on in at that particular time (ex. "Jefferson had finally been able to speak publicly against slavery") and then the characters are shown with phrase bubbles. I liked it this way because I think the pictures and word bubbles will help the students remember and better understand what was happening at that particular time in Jefferson's life. 2. Strengths- Like I said, I loved that there were side notes about the time period. These sentences/phrases were more like something you would see in a textbook, but the fact that they go along with a very animated picture and word bubbles, makes the story come alive for the students. This way, it is easier for them to make connections and to remember dates, events, and people ini a more creative way than rote memorization or worksheets. The writing was very easy to understand and the artwork was colorful and intricate. 3.Weaknesses- I thought the only weakness in this novel is that it was too short. Although many people may find history or the life of an old President boring, there are also many others (like me!) who love history and want to learn and know more about important historical figures in our country's past. Thomas Jefferson did a lot of things to help our country and I felt like he sort of got jipped with such a short story. 4. Content Area Connections- This graphic novel would go under the content area of social studies. It obviously makes connections with American history, but there are many references to battles that occured in North Carolina that Thomas Jefferson took part in regulating. This is great for the 8th grade curriculum of NC History. If I ever did a section on the Presidents, I would enjoy choosing a few of these graphic novels for the class to select by choice and then read. I think they would enjoy it too, considering there are so many pictures and it presents an easier way of understanding what happened during the time of Jefferson. This graphic novel would most likely fit within the 8th grade history classes. 5. Addressing Content- I think this novel addresses the content of American history and the different treaties and documents that were important during Jefferson's life very well. It included the Declaration of Independence, the peace treaty with France, and the Manual of Parliamentary Procedures, to name a few. It also explains the differences between the Federalist and Republican parties, something that middle schoolers struggle with in history (political parties). As it does all of this "boring" stuff in an interesting manner, I think it greatly enhances the learning of content in the area of social studies and history. 6. Students- I think middle school students would be very responsive to this book. In fact, I think middle school students would be responsive to any graphic novel. Before reading them, I thought they were bogus, but now, I really enjoy reading them and really do think that the pictures and word bubbles help tremendously with understanding what you might call "text" material. I am a nanny for a family with a 6th grade boy and he read graphic novels like crazy. I brought this book to work with me one day and asked him if he would be interested in reading it. He sat down with it and finished it in about 15 minutes and seemed to like it a lot. Point proven. 7. Recommendation- I would definitely recommend this graphic novel to pre-service AND in-service teachers. In fact, this novel comes in a library of novels on Great Americans. I would recommend the whole library, especially to history teachers or teachers planning on teaching American History or NC History. I liked it a lot :) Posted at 09:47PM Apr 22, 2008 by Joy king in Graphic Nonfiction Reviews | Comments[0]

Graphic Novel Title
For my graphic novel, I chose to read MAUS I: A Survivor's Tale, by Art Spiegelman. This was written about the Holocaust, a popular middle grades Social Studies topic, and I feel that it would be useful in the classroom. 1. a) Summary: The book MAUS provides dialogue between a father (Vladek Spiegelman) and his son Art. The two transition between modern day issues such as Vladek's marraige to Mala, being ill and aging to what events occurred to Vladek and Art's mother Anja, during the Holocaust. Vladek portrays the opposing sides as cats (Nazi's) and mice (Jews) making the book easy to read and understand. He discusses the obstacles Jews faced during this time, what everyday life was like, and what really happened within the camps. The book switches between these two time periods quite often. By the end of the book, the reader is not only familiar with the familial relationships between the characters, but of historical events also. b.) Artwork: The book is in what I would describe as comic book format. It is seperated into chapters with an average of 5-7 picture boxes per page. The book is also in black and white. 2. Strengths: I think this would be a great teaching tool. It provides enough of a fiction story to encourage readers to read it, but is filled with historical events. It goes into detail about what happens in the camps, uses the correct names, and is a true account from a survior. The illustrations are solid throughout, and are simple enough to get the message across. No fancy clip art or beautification was added in this novel. 3. Weaknesses: The biggest weakness I found within this novel was it's lack of color. I liked the work being black and white but I sometimes found it mundane. I like graphic novels that display color and I feel that in certain sections, color would be useful in getting the point across. 4. Using MAUS in Other Content Areas: Language Arts: Obviously this novel would fit into the Language Arts curricula. It is a graphic novel easily set in the middle grades level that is not only a change from the normal chapter books but an interesting one too. This would fit directly into the sixth grade National Standards which state: Standard 1: Students read a range of print and nonprint texts to build an understanding of texts, of themselves, and of the cultures of the United States and the world; to acquire new information; to respond to the needs and demands of society and the workplace; and for personal fulfillment. Among these texts are fiction and nonfiction, classic and comtempory works. Standard 2: Students read a wide range of literature from many periods in many genres to build an understanding of the many dimensions (e.g. philosophical, ethical, aesthetic) of human experience. Social Studies: MAUS would be a great addition to any Social Studies curriculum. It addresses an important historical topic, the Holocaust, and would be great for a teacher teaching both LA & SS. This ties directly into Competency Goal 4: The learner will identify signifigant patterns in the movement of people, goods and ideas over time and place in South Africa and Europe. Math: Students could also showcase their Math skills while reading this book. They could research and construct the measurments of a cell in the Nazi camps to see exactly how much space these people were living in. The could work with probability to determine the number of persons killed in relation to the population of each individual country and the continent itself. This could also be combined with exercises in probability and percents. Each of the activities are listed as Major Concepts/Skills in the sixth grade. Science: A lot of the major skills and concepts covered in the Science section would relate nicely to the Math portion. The students could use Science as inquiry to figure out different concepts and ideas behind the Holocaust and could also use the internet and other tools to research. Science is the hardest to tie in, so any ideas would be helpful! 5. Critique: I believe this book to be a great addition to my Language Arts and Social Studies curriculum. I think that it provides enough historical information to be useful in the classroom setting but also enough filler to keep my students interested. I feel that a book like this one, and it's counterpart MAUS II And Here My Troubles Began would be very useful. 6. My Opinion. . . I believe that students would be very receptive to this book. Oftentimes students are so fed up with reading the usual fiction and nonfiction choices, a graphic novel would be a great change. I think the students will like the artwork, will identifiy with the characters and will overall embrace the story. 7. Recommendation: As many of my prior responses state, I would love to recommend this book to other teachers. I think that the historical aspect is great, the information provided is accurate (correct names, spelling, etc.) and that students will enjoy reading it. I would not hesisitate to provide this to my own students one day! :) Posted at 07:57PM Apr 17, 2008 by Lauren Amanda Bass in Graphic Novel Reviews | Comments[0]
