Workshop Information

Jennifer is available to come to your school for workshops and book fairs. Both events are totally free!

Workshops
Jennifer offers two different workshops for students and one for teachers:
- Comic Imagery in the Series "Bone" - students are led in a discussion to articulate how panels and images create ideas of time, mood, character, sound, and more.
For grades 3-7

- Being a Superhero for your Community - students are led in a discussion about what it means to be a superhero; they examine the concept of community, and then figure out how a hero could help one of their communities; finally in pairs they create their own hero, drawing it on a blank figure template, and establishing a name and powers for the character.
For grades 3-12

- Teaching with Graphic Novels (for teachers) - not sure how to get graphic novels into your curriculum? Jennifer can walk through how to create a graphic novel curriculum, including establishing activities, writing lesson plans, and choosing texts. This workshop can be tailored to the needs of the group and the level of expertise with the medium.
For teachers

Book Fairs
Jennifer or one of her staff can attend your school with books for your students to purchase. We recommend booking the store for a 2 day book fair, which will allow students to browse the books on day 1 and take home a wish list, and return to purchase on day 2.
The book fair can be combined with a workshop.
