Abstract
This study examined the nature and scope of secondary English students 1 written aesthetic responses to the newly published editions of Classics Illustrated comic books.
One class of 25 sophomores and two classes of 18 students in a public high school in rural Central Virginia were directed to read as homework their choice of 4 of 27 different Classics Illustrated comic books. Students wrote aesthetic responses while reading, and wrote overall reactions immediately after completing each comic.
Data analysis revealed that responses made while reading were generally personal in nature, whereas responses written immediately after reading were generally more evaluative.
