I am trying to get my students back into reading REAL books. A lot of the library and my personal books available to them are "old" or "boring," which makes it hard to compete with their personal devices and Chromebooks. Independent reading is much easier when students relate to and enjoy the books, so I need to update my selection to meet their needs and interests! Graphic novels are a great way to get reluctant readers to engage with a book. The selection I have added includes modern stories and revamped classics. Included too are local fiction and nonfiction books; I'm hopeful some kids who don't see the relevance of other texts are more interested in stories they can relate to. I have included books about representation and race issues, as these books are important and relevant for students of all background to see available. The 10th grade curriculum deals frequently with censorship. The 11th grade focus is American Literature, so there are several nonfiction historic graphic novels and Oklahoma literature to compliment our district's curriculum. By adding books to our classroom that are relevant to their lives and accessible, they will be more likely stay engaged with independent reading. And the more they read, the more they learn! Please help me build our classroom library!
