| Less successful hybridWhen I purchased this text for some research on using sequential art (i.e., comics) for teaching, I really wanted to like it. I figured that if a respectable company like Kaplan was using sequential art, then that would be a good step forward.
Unfortunately, this amalgamation of computer game setting, manga illustrations, ACT vocabulary, and narrative art didn't gel. On the high end of accomplishment, the manga drawings are great. Going downhill: the WarCraft setting seems like it would be a smart choice, but it doesn't give any of the satisfaction that the game might give; the vocab definitions are placed visually in a way that seems like it really 'should' work, but the definitions are sketchy at best; and worst of all, the narrative is just rotten---from the dialogue which jolts over speedbumps like "nefarious" coming out of the mouths of characters which, IMHO, would NOT say such things, to the unrelentingly irritating cliff-hanger stopping-point (it does NOT conclude), the story-telling is miserable.
My only hope is that this kind of experimentation won't convince people that sequential art CANNOT be used for sophisticated purposes. Hopefully, people will see it as a sketch of what is possible to accomplish and then go farther. Please....?

Product DescriptionThis brand-new book was written primarily for parents and teachers of high school students who suffer from learning difficulties that stem from a variety of different causes. Just a few among those possible difficulties are attention-deficit disorder, difficulties in perception, motor control problems, and even severe anxiety attacks related to test-taking situations. The author presents a strategic study program and test-taking plan specifically designed to help such students prepare for the SAT college entrance test. Separate chapters outline test-taking strategies for all three sections of the SAT: Critical Reading, Writing, and Math. The author also advises on how to apply each recommended strategy. Appendices cover lists of prefixes, suffixes, and roots for students to master as they bring their vocabulary up to SAT levels; plus a list of math terms and definitions to help them understand the SAT Math section's questions and answer them correctly.

| Technical DifficultiesFrom the presses of TOKYOPOP, in cooperation with the Kaplan test-prep company, comes an experimental manga that teaches vocabulary for the SAT/ACT. Created by Jason Henderson, Tony Salvaggio and Shane Granger, "Psy-Comm" takes place in a future where war is the ultimate reality show and psychic commandos are the stars. Though an interesting concept, the comic and the dozens of definitions for each highlighted word is likely to distract readers from one or the other. The choice of words used also bleeds the personality out of the characters; you'd think you're reading the comic book version of "Dawson's Creek." If you care enough to finish Vol. 1, then stay tuned for further developments, and more big words.
This comic is rated T for ages 13+: Mild Violence, Mild Gore, Moderate Language.
