Love this way of exploring poems!
By creating simple comics to represent poems, high school students can learn to represent complex themes visually *and* engage in deeper conversation about what they’ve read.

@thevogelman.bsky.social explains how! 📚

World Book Day has the most sustained impact when it's used as a springboard for developing a school culture of reading. This year, we're exploring Daniel Pennac's Rights of the Reader (beautifully illustrated by Quentin Blake). Each class will develop their own set of reading rights and share them.
