INTERACTIVE TECHNIQUES:  These techniques have multiple benefits: the instructor can easily and quickly assess if students have really 
                                                                       mastered the material.  These techniques are often percieved as "fun," yet they are frequently more effective
                                                                       than lectures at enabling student learning;

  GRAPHIC NOVELS IN THE SECONDARY CLASSROOM http://racomics.pbworks.com/f/GN's+in+High+School.pdf
                                                                                                                                               This is a link to an article titled: "Graphic Novels in the Secondary Classroom and 
                                                                                                                                                School Libraries"  It was published in the Journal of Adolescent and Adult
                                                                                                                                                Literature 54 (3) November 2010.  The abstract reads: "Graphic novels can
                                                                                                                                                provide teaching and learning opportunities for readers, educators, and
                                                                                                                                                reasearchers.  In this article; discover which graphic nobels to use and how to
                                                                                                                                                use them in your classroom." I feel that the use of graphic novels in a secondary
                                                                                                                                                 classroom will greatly enhance the experience of the "reluctant reader" as well
                                                                                                                                                  it will help the ELL student
