🗯️📚Graphic Novel Book Tasting

Another book tasting today in the library, this time for the Life Skills English classes! As these groups are small, we had a very personalized lesson and could spend as much or as little time as we needed talking about different pieces of the lesson.

Students brought their Chromebooks to the library so we could begin with a MackinVIA review. 

Then it was on to the tasting itself. Tables were set with a variety of graphic novels in the following categories: War, Sports, Fantasy, Memoir, and Adaptations.

The table signage was created using Gemini's image tool, and after a few different attempts at prompting, the images reflected the content of the books in a graphic novel style.

Students then listened to a short booktalk from each category and had time to browse the tables and bookcases for a graphic novel to check out for class. Every student came away from the activity with a graphic novel, and some students, who'd checked out first books in a series, were already talking about reading the sequels.
