Elizabeth I and the Spanish Armada by Colin Hynson

Length: 47 Pages, 6 Sections, Graphic Novel

I found this graphic novel to be a very accurate historical account of Elizabeth I of England and her success against foiling Spain's plans for invading her country. It gives a detailed description of the important characters in this time period that were relevant to these events. I found the graphics great for visually explaining things like the "fireships". I think this is another great way for students to absorb historical fact in a new and interesting way. I would encourage students to take their time reading to this to really absorb the facts and enjoy the story.
