Some of the graphic novel resources I have bookmarked:
Diamond Comics bookshelf <http://bookshelf.diamondcomics.com/> There is
a lessonplan section, but it looks like they need some submissions
(anyone need another summer project?)
BroDart has a section on Graphic Novels
<http://www.graphicnovels.brodart.com/links.htm>
Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) is YA, but does excellent reviews
<http://www.voya.com/>
This month's 'Graphically Speaking' review theme is Sports and has
titles that could be appropriate for elem
No Flying No Tights <http://www.noflyingnotights.com/> has a really good
kids section with a 'core titles' section
Some of the ones my sixth graders liked _Bone_ , _Meridian_, Cardcaptor
Sakura , _Shaolin Sisters_. But there are many others
Also, Child_Lit just had a thread on graphic novels for 7-10 yr olds Go
to <http://email.rutgers.edu/archives/child_lit.html> to do a Subject
search for "Graphic Novels for 7 to 10". Lots of good titles. You do
need to register for access. A Subject Search for 'Graphic Novels'
brings up a lot of really good threads on a range of topics.
(Child_Lit - it is well worth being a subscriber to that list, lots of
solid critique, many authors. It could be titled ' a new title a day for
collection building'. They cover a range from picture books to Jane Eyre.)
Powell's City of Books, has excellent coverage a titles
<http://www.powells.com/psection/GraphicNovels.html>
I'm lucky enough to be across the river from them. I've gone in and told
the person in charge there what is popular in my library and they start
pulling books, which brings up the idea of checking with your local
bookstore and public library, esp. the Childrens Librarians; they would
have a good finger on the pulse of what's popular and what is accessible
to their age group.
