Every year, my new incoming class of freshmen are required to read Romeo and Juliet. The students I teach need all the help they can get when it comes to reading, especially 15th century iambic pentameter. Ever year I dread teaching this nine week unit. My students must keep up with the latest advancements in education to spark an interest in reading. Education is changing every single day, and so are the interest of my students. Students in my classroom like to read about superheroes and villains. My school media center doesn't offer this type of book collection, so I would like to have books that will hold their interests and keep them reading in my classroom. Struggling readers will often pick up a comic book because the pictures and visuals are less intimidating than a typical book. I am requesting class sets of No Fear Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet and Manga Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet. Students who read these graphic novels find reading fun and begin to read more for enjoyment! Helping students begin to learn that reading is fun is perfect way to build better readers. Graphic novels are a gateway to better reading skills for reluctant readers. My students will love getting their hands on these graphic novels.
