In this lesson, we are going to explore one of the new elements of Malaysian KBSM literary items which is Graphic Novels. There are three different novels selected by the Ministry of Education and each of them is assigned as a reading material in different state according to their region.
- Journey to The Center of The Earth
2. Boscombe Valley Mystery
3. Black Beauty
Based on my own experience, the language that is presented and used in these graphic novels are relatively easy. If the students come from an area in which English is spoken/used regularly, they will have no difficulties in learning and using this literary item. On the other hand, if the students come from an area where English is deemed difficult and hard-to-learn, the element of comic that is being used in this item can attract their interest in learning the language.
When you are reading these graphic novels, always keep in mind that the target group for this literary item is actually form one students. Therefore, if you are a form one student, I wish you all the best and hope you can enjoy one of these novels. If on the other you are not a form one students, you can still have a wonderful time reading these works and at the same time you can help your younger siblings and also school mates in understanding the works better. Together we stand.
