“We Wear the Mask: Graphic Narratives and Identity” will aim to explore how masks are used both symbolically and literally in fiction and everyday life. Through exploration of graphic novels, prose, and historical studies, students will engage with the concepts of how we present ourselves, how we view ourselves, and the barrier in between. This unit is intended for 11-12th grade English courses. Central texts will include Watchmen and Incognegro.

(Developed for English, grade 12; recommended for English, grades 11-12)
