Abstract

This graphic essay examines the interactions between Norwegian and American teachers in an online reading circle (spring 2022) as they read and discussed four graphic novels over the course of a semester. It highlights the visual and interpretive skills teachers developed together as they learned how to read and discuss multimodal texts. The graphic essay format is chosen to illustrate selected compositional, interpersonal, and artistic features graphic novels employ, including how structure, color, and design communicate meaning. The essay provides implications for multimodal reading, writing, and discussion, particularly in the English language classroom.
