Oh yes. It works in a similar way to a parallel text. It includes the modern english version as well as the graphic images you are looking for. You could even scan the images you want and blow them up to do a close reading of a particular scene.

This is their text for a parallel text. I've never looked at this version but I really like No Fear

Also for lesson plans this is a great resource. The whole set of these are amazing:

Keeping with visuals, this stage/DVD addition released by Folger was created for teachers. All of the extras are intended to be used in the classroom. I saw a bit of it in a PD with Folger and it was amazing. It made me want to teach the Scotish Play (Sadly the Junior teachers have claimed it) :)

Folger library has released a ton of amazing resources for teachers. Doing a quick google (image) search for Folger would be a great idea to find images to use in the classroom. They have scanned a great deal of images from their personal library. The best part is, it's all free! :)

Sorry to keep adding, but this is also a great text with lots of room for annotating and pictures. If you are not using a parallel text this is the next best thing, then probably a Folger (in my opinion).

I hope this helps :)

It really depends on what you are looking for. If you want a modernization No Fear Shakespeare has a solid line of graphic novels. It sparks an interesting conversation of which version the kids like better and what may be missing when you modernize the text as No Fear has.

Aaron,

I have just started integrating graphin novels into the classroom and so far they have been working great!

Some classic titles good for history/social studies include:
"Persepolis"
and
"Mouse"

You could also use them as an auxillery text to pair with the theme you are discussing.

G.N's are great for students who are learning English as their second language who are traditionally reluctant readers. It allows them to pair the words with the graphic image, using these visual context clues to understand the text.

Hope this helps!
