Challenges for Media Specialists

Graphic novels include advanced vocabulary and sentence structure that can help prepare students for academic work and standardized tests (Mooney, 2002). Challenge #1 Administrators, teachers, and parents sometimes consider graphic novels to be less worthy of attention than other forms of text.

Challenge #2 The visual content of graphic novels may be unacceptable to some parents, teachers, and administrators. Graphic novels are highly visual, but this does not mean that they necessarily contain mature or violent content. Media specialists need to consider the individual merits of each text before deciding whether to include it in the collection (Rudiger & Schliesman, 2007). Images need to be evaluated carefully, as they are potentially more inflammatory than words (Carter, 2009).

As literature, comics are "a layering of text, visual and pictorial.” (Carter, 2009). It can be difficult to skim a comic book. The words and illustrations are meant to be read together. Graphic novels require students to use more complex cognitive skills than reading text alone (Schwartz, 2002). Challenge # 3 Students are just looking at the pictures – they’re not really reading!

Many publications such as School Library Journal and Booklist offer pertinent reviews of graphic novels, grouped by grade or age- appropriateness. It can be hard to locate age- appropriate materials. Challenge #4

Challenge #5 It can be difficult to find time to teach graphic novels. Integrate graphic novels into thematic units by making connections to subject areas. Study author’s craft by comparing graphic novels such as Art Spiegelman’s Maus to the writing of Anne Frank, Lois Lowry, or Elie Wiesel. Source: Carter (2009)
