We'll have two themes in sessions 3: learning to read picture books in more complex ways and practicing the different types of responses to literature so that you'll feel more comfortable preparing for our first literature discussion.
To prepare, please:
- Read chapter 2 ("The Art of Picture Books" and chapter 3 ("The Content of Picture Books") in the C & G textbook. Come prepared to apply what you are learning to some books!
- Read Rudiger (2006) "Graphic Novels 101". What are graphic novels? What types of visual literacy skills might we use to read them?
- Review the Luken's Genre chart. This will be a resources we use throughout the semester!
Optional:
- Read the Kiefer (2004) and Sipe articles. They'll provide useful vocabulary for discussing illustrations.
- Check out this post and resource on manga!
- Bring in a graphic novel, manga, or picture book that you would like to discuss.

I personally watch the manga series of Naruto and Bleach when they are translated from Japanese to English on the internet so I can't bring it in to class since they are not published yet in English. Even though they are only 2D and have limited space to express what is going on when it is placed on youtube as a video the uploaders usually add the music that would co-exist with certain scenes and it adds to the aesthetic response.
