Blankets is a graphic novel by Craig Thompson. Without a doubt this is something I’d like to have on the curriculum in my classroom. I can see it inspiring a lot of students to express themselves in new ways. There is some sexual content and discussion on religion
that might not be acceptable in more conservative teaching environments.
My questions for this text would be.
a. What makes you feel like an outsider?
b. How do you know what’s right?
c. What is your ultimate loyalty?
d. Why is love so complicated?
e. Where do we get our values?
