THE BIG IDEA
Graphic novels don't require fewer skills. They require completely different ones.
Week 1 teaches students to read panels, interpret the gutter, and distinguish speech bubbles from thought bubbles — skills no traditional text can build. By the end of this lesson, students can label the structural elements of a graphic novel page and explain in writing how layout shapes meaning.
