In a couple of months, I will teach a Literature Circle unit where my students will be able to choose the book they read in my class. The Best We Could Do will be one of the options my students can read during this unit. Students will meet in small groups of 4-6, discuss the text using student-generated discussion questions, make artwork to reflect on their learning, and eventually collaborate to produce a podcast about their learning. They will share this podcast with their classmates so all my students can learn about the texts. This unit is part of my larger World Literature class, so this unit includes texts from the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Colombia, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and India. The Best We Could do is written by a Vietnamese-American woman about her & her parents migration from Vietnam to the United States. All of the other texts are already in our book room, but we do not have enough copies of the Best We Could Do. This text is particularly important because it is the only graphic memoir students can choose, and thus is more accessible to my students who often don't enjoy reading.
