We are delighted to share another opportunity to learn about integrating graphic novels in the classroom. For the WINTER SWAR-U-M we have created materials to support asynchronous learning and engagement.

There are FOUR components to this learning activity.

1) LEARN: Watch two videos of GNAT members sharing the ways they integrate graphic novels and plan for their use with K12 curriculum.

2) SHARE & RESPOND:

Post something that you have learned, questions that you have, or ideas you have to offer related to the session in the GNAT Facebook Group.

Complete a survey (google form) to receive 1 HOUR of professional learning credit from the Oklahoma Literacy Association.

3) CONTRIBUTE - Share your ideas with peers in this PADLET.
