Abstract
  • For my Honors Project, I created a course curriculum for an eleventh- and twelfth-grade high school English Language Arts class that uses comic books to teach students how to read and analyze multimodal texts through a variety of theoretical lenses, including historical, postcolonial, and feminist approaches. Multimodal texts utilize multiple modalities—forms of expression such as dialogue, images, text, etc.—to communicate messages to readers. Recently, educators have begun expanding the traditional literary canon used in English Language Arts classrooms to be more inclusive. My project explores the potential of expanding that canon to include multimodal texts, specifically comic books. The main texts in my curriculum are a variety of Marvel Comics starring the heroes Captain America, Black Panther, and Captain Marvel. These comic books serve as important subjects of literary analysis because they provide significant examples of multimodal literary devices and thematic development that students would benefit from studying. In addition, the popularity of these comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe can ensure increased student engagement in course concepts.
