This year, we adopted an honors curriculum where we study various genres of writing that all focus on the concept of power. We focus on two themes: The abuse of power and the resistance against those who abuse their power. For the first theme, we analyze different kinds of governments as well as read dystopian novels and compare the types of governments. For the second theme, we study Civil Rights literature. My students loved this unit and the real-life discussions it lead to. I never read a graphic novel until this year and it has completely changed how I teach! I've integrated graphic novels throughout my CP courses to reach my EL and IEP students but my honors classes have yet to be exposed to this genre. Along with our Civil Rights literature sources, I would love to have my whole class read John Lewis' graphic memoir called March! I read all three books in the series and was blown away by his life, the information you gain, and insight he has into the Civil Rights Movement that I never knew about. I want to open their eyes to more diversity and his story of resistance! It would pair great with our theme analysis and would help grow them as readers since graphic novels are not something they typically read.
