Reading Graphic Novels Through Critical Lenses to Recognize Power Imbalances and Discrimination

Activity provided by Alison Holloway

The overarching concept that guides this unit is “who is on the inside, and who is on the outside?” Students will explore stereotypes, media portrayals, biases, privilege, intersectionality, and race/gender/ability as a social construction. Two essential questions that inform this unit are: 1) What is discrimination? and 2) How does discrimination persist in contemporary society?

Let’s Get Graphic

Activity provided by Cecilia Anne Coyne

Wanting to move away from “I like it” or “I didn’t like it” when her students were responding to a text, this project is designed to help students to become more confident expressing their own opinions, ideas and observations about texts without teacher prompting, and to learn to evaluate what texts mean to them for themselves.
