Reading Materiel
Here's a link to a great piece I heard on NPR this morning about a fifth-grade teacher in Aberdeen, Maryland, who's using graphic novels and comic books to help motivate and interest her students in reading. Notably, although the teacher mentions the fact that the idea seemed natural to her because of media interest in comic book movies like SPIDER-MAN, the books she's using are from Jim Ottaviani's G-T Labs, whose nonfiction graphic novels focus mainly on science and scientists (including FALLOUT, one of the most facsinating comics I've ever read, all about the Manhattan Project and the birth of the atomic bomb.)
