(a) What is graphic novel?
(b) What is the difference between a comic and a graphic novel?
(c) Should graphic novels be taught in schools?
(d) Do graphic novels help struggling readers?
3 Now, teacher gets each group to discuss their favourite graphic novels. If students find it difficult to
name their favourite graphic novels, substitute with films (graphic novels that made into films).
4 Then, each group must choose one graphic novel and describe:
CONTOH
(a) What is the story about?
(b) Who are the main characters?
(c) Why do they like/ dislike the story?
(d) What lessons have they learned from the story?
5 Each group writes their responses on a piece of mahjong paper.
6 When they are done, they may go around the class to see the responses of other groups. Give your
comments or add your ideas where necessary.

(Suggested example)

Title of graphic novel: King Arthur retold by Janet Hardy-Gould
Synopsis: Once upon a time in England, there lived a great magician by the name of Merlin. Merlin dreamed of the future

king who was called Arthur. He then created a magic stone and stuck a sword in it. The one who was able to pull
the sword out would be the rightful king. And Arthur did it and he was declared the King. Arthur then married a girl
named Guinevere despite Merlin’s warning of a dark future. He built a castle, Camelot, for her. They had a friend
named Lancelot, who was also a great knight. Mordred, Arthur’s evil nephew, managed to convince Arthur that
Lancelot was in love with Guinevere. While Arthur was away fighting, he realised it was a trick and Mordred took
over his throne. He rushed back and battled against Mordred, but broke his magic sword and was badly injured.
Lancelot was a faithful knight and helped Arthur kill Mordred. In the end, Merlin appeared and took Arthur away.
Main characters: King Arthur, Merlin, Lancelot, Guinevere and Mordred
Reason(s) you like/ dislike the story: We did not like the story as the ending was very sad, although the beginning of the story

was interesting and filled with adventures. King Arthur was betrayed by his nephew, was
fatally wounded and was taken away by Merlin.
Lesson(s) learnt: (a) We must never betray our friends/ value friendships.
(b) We must be loyal to our country.
(c) We must be determined to achieve our goals.
(d) We must be helpful to those in need.

Grandma Suzy

CONTOHGrandma, Dad is planning to take us to Gua Tempurung this coming school holidays. Although it is a
popular tourist attraction in Malaysia, I’m not keen on joining the family trip because I’m afraid of caves. I
don’t want to spend my holidays exploring dark and eerie places filled with creepy creatures such as bats,
scorpions and spiders. Furthermore, if you’re not extra careful, you can easily get lost while navigating
through narrow passages and tunnels. The story of 12 boys who got trapped in a flooded cave a few years
ago is still fresh in my mind and every time I think about it, I get goosebumps.

Grandma, can I stay with you during the coming school holidays?
