This is a growing DRAFT!
Feedback is not only welcome but necessary!
This page should evolve into a one stop shop for starting points to get you thinking about teaching literatures and textual adventures, such as film and graphics, in the classroom. It is dynamic and relies on a sharing of resources and ideas from all who may find it useful. Contact the Curriculum Librarian, Jacquei Hicks, for further help
