[ISLMA-Share] Manga Shakespear

Fri Jan 12 11:04:16 CST 2018

For your info…every spring, iSchool faculty member & world-renowned expert, Carol Tilley<http://caroltilley.net/> offers an 8-week course on Comics & Reader’s Advisory.

IS 590 CR – Spring Course (2 credit hours)
Comics: Advising Child and Adult Readers

Comics--in forms including comic strips, comic books, graphic novels, webcomics, and manga--represent an important cultural medium, which appeals to persons of all ages and is collected by many school, public, and academic libraries. This course introduces students to the comics medium, its history, and its cultural influences. Students will read a variety of comics and learn about materials and techniques key to providing reader's advisory in this medium. Although this course focuses on American comics, some readings and discussions will touch on this medium's international dimensions.

Based upon this thread, it may be a future course of interest to put on your radar! It can be taken as a continuing education student online (you don’t not have to be enrolled in a degree-seeking program)!

Best,

Mr. Heideman, I beg to differ. Putting the classics into graphic novels or manga makes them more accessible. I wish all my students read on a level to be able to read the classics, but when they don’t, graphic/manga versions can help scaffold the books to a level that helps students be successful. Research is clear that graphic novels can be important to building reading comprehension. The classics may not circulate as much as other graphic novels or texts, but I have “sold” them to my teachers who use them in class when teaching certain books as a way to help struggling readers (and those students often come in to see which other classics I may have in graphic/manga format).

Putting classics  in graphic novels is ridiculous!  Shakespeare and other classics were never made to be graphic novels. Making them into graphic novels degrades
them. The classic novels put in graphic form don't circulate in the North Chicago Public Library.Students want superheroes or books like the Babysitters Club in graphic not classics.

There is a series called Manga Classics (I own "The Scarlet Letter").  There are 11 or so titles in the series, including the stories of Edgar Allan Poe, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and "The Jungle Book" which might be appropriate for middle school aged students.  Crystal Chan is the adapter of both.

Unrelated to that book, I did some more investigating on Titlewave and there is an 8-book set of Manga Shakepeare.

Dear great collective brain,

I need some help. I am looking for middle school level manga that is based on the classics. For example, I have Romeo and Juliet (ISBN 978-0-8109-9325-9) which includes the car chases just like the original Shakespearian work. What’s going on is we are doing a Genre Fair! with our 8th grade honors classes. One of our groups really wants to do manga. Well, we compromised with the students and they will need to include some adaptations of classics. Anyone have some suggestions/recommendations.

Sincerely,

Alan, Librarian serving Brooks Middle School
