[LM_NET] TAR: MIDDLE: Graphic Novel elective/book club

[Katie Anderson <library@MLCCHARTER.ORG>]

I have been asked to teach a semester-long Graphic Novel elective once a
week, starting in 2 weeks.  I'm in a bit of a panic because when I had
suggested this would be a great elective, I expected to have the summer to
create/prepare/purchase for it!

If you have lead this kind of elective or a graphic novel Book Club, please
share any wisdom.  Particularly, does each student need a copy of each book
or are smaller "book clubs" within the class better, what are the best
choices of graphic novels, do you have a syllabus or plans you'd be willing
to share?

I've already gotten inspiration from "Reinventing the Book Club" published
in Knowledge Quest, but am now in need of structure.

Thanks so much.
