The Shadowed Road is an interactive graphic novel and multimedia experience. Pedagogical themes of Human Rights, Democracy, Basic Education, and Global Citizenship make the project a great Social Studies or Digital Literacy tool. Imaginative illustrations and unique multimedia make learning fun and intuitive for ESL and ELL students.
