First up today...an Edward Scissorhands graphic novel. I just noticed that NetGalley has a separate graphic novel category and in my attempt to incorporate more graphic novels and be in touch with what my students are reading I requested a few. I think I should have looked them up on Amazon or Titlewave first because I am thinking most are not appropriate for my grade level.
I loved the movie Edward Scissorhands. Love Johnny Depp. So I thought this might be interesting. While I was able to understand the story to some extent because of my background knowledge I feel this would not be accessible without it. I appreciated the plot but again it is because I already know the movie.
I do try to read graphic novels but I know I don't spend enough time on the visual aspects. I am supportive of my students reading them but they are not my favorite and this wouldn't work for my school.
