Teaching with Comics with Jason DeHart

Embark on an enlightening odyssey into the transformative world of graphic novels with our distinguished guest, Jason DeHart. With a PhD in Literacy under his belt, Jason unpacks the potent blend of critical literacy and empathy in his latest book, "Building Critical Literacy and Empathy with Graphic Novels." Our conversation whirls around the magic of storytelling, why your next favorite book might just be a graphic novel, and Jason"s personal endeavors as a podcaster blending his love for coffee and literature on "Words, Images, and Worlds." Feel the tug of nostalgia as we reminisce about the comic book heroes of our childhoods, shedding light on the narrative prowess of graphic novels compared to traditional prose. Jason and I dissect the unique ways in which comics and graphic novels stitch together words and images to create compelling stories that resonate across ages. If you"ve ever scoffed at the notion of comics being "real reading," prepare to have your perspectives challenged and horizons broadened, as we delve into their role as powerful cogs in the literacy machine. As we wrap up, we tackle the less spoken-about aspects of the creative journey, like the menacing specter of imposter syndrome and the ecstasies of the writing process. Jason candidly shares his strategies for channeling self-doubt into passion-fueled writing and offers nuggets of wisdom for aspiring authors.
