"With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility" I teach Special Education English in a Charter High School. We are in a low income neighborhood, and most of my students have been left back or are over age for the grade they are in at the school. They have talents, and this project is geared towards what they love to do and accomplish what is required of them for school.

The pages of the book are not coming to life for me...so I don't read. This is how my students feel, and the wall I am trying to climb to get through to my students. I would like to substitute a required reading with a book that they would find enjoyable and hopefully want to read. I will also create a project based on their talents and likes.

I would like them to read the graphic novel Maus by Art Spiegelmen. We are investigating different types of writing and novels. The students have not read the summer reading or any of the novels we are doing and they have expressed an interest in graphic novels. This is because they are all artists that like tagging, drawing, and comics. They will then create their own graphic novel to express themselves better and complete an assignment.

"You can't always get what you want"- but if you try sometimes, you get what you need. Please help me get my students what they need.
