* Teachers are constantly searching for new ways to engage students in learning. One effective way to teach social studies is with the use of historical graphic novels.
* Graphic novels are stories told through both text and pictures through panels like comic books. They come in many genres, including non-fiction and historical novels.
* Why use graphic novels? They are a great way to motivate reluctant readers, and help struggling readers by using visual context clues. They also improve reading skills and vocabulary.
