It's not your typical superhero outing. It's a thrilling mystery, with an outcome you may not expect. Unfortunately, it does have an act of violence, while generally alluded to, but not graphically depicted, that makes this novel not 100% appropriate for students.<br /><br />My point (and I do have one) is that it made me realize how perfect graphic novels could be for implementing the Common Core State Standards. I plan on heading down to our local comic shop (Meltdown) and finding equally complex but more age appropriate novels to bring into my classroom.maryclevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00785496858123839668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-73662247554609106572012-09-10T13:54:36.860-07:002012-09-10T13:54:36.860-07:00You know something?
