Expanding Literacy and Textual Work With Comics and Digital Instruction

Abstract

This chapter examines the nexus of comics and digital work in the context of both secondary and post-secondary instruction with adolescents. The chapter draws upon the qualitative and self-study centered approach of the author as teacher and as reader, with implications related to the future possibilities for instruction. In this case, the context is centered in literacy as the author has worked with students over the course of approximately seventeen years to foster deeper connections to reading, writing, and composing.
