Graphic Novel Project

This project is the perfect way for students to summarize the plot of a graphic novel that they have read, transfer their knowledge of another piece of literature into graphic novel form or use their imaginations and write their own graphic novel! Many popular novels have been turned into graphic novels to meet a broader audience and introduce students of all abilities to rich literary content.

Some popular examples of classic literature turned into graphic novels are:

• The Giver: The Graphic Novel by Lois Lowry and P. Craig Russell
• Anne Frank's Diary: The Graphic Adaptation by Anne Frank, David Polonsky and Ari Folman
• A Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel by Madeleine L'Engle and Hope Larson./li>

Some examples of award-winning graphic novels that elementary students love are:

• Smile by Raina Telgemeier
• El Deafo by Cece Bell
• Amulet by Kazu Kibuishi
• Bone by Jeff Smith
• New Kid by Jerry Craft
