MAUS


Maus Webquest

 I can’t wait to begin this graphic novel with my English I Special Education Pullout class. It is such a fun read on such an interesting topic, and the fact that it is a graphic novel only makes it more fun and challenging!

 Since I’ve never taught a graphic novel before, I will be sure to stumble through it the first time and make many corrections for the next time. For now, this is what I have created. We are going to begin with a webquest. I will assign partner groups different sets of questions to look up, and after a day or two in the library, we will discuss our findings as a class. Students usually love the webquests, and I might even spark some healthy competition with some candy for the first one done with the most accuracy.

Chapter Questions

I’m not sure how I’ll tackle the novel exactly. I think we’ll read it together as a class and just see how it goes. Ideally, I’d love to have two book groups, but I think this group would benefit from whole class instruction and discussion. We’ll see. Suggestions are welcome. We’ll probably read, discuss, and then answer questions after discussion. I’ll make activities to break up the questions when I see it is needed.
