My Students
Working with engaged students in a high-need school has unique challenges; chief among them, finding books that truly get students excited about reading.
One medium that my students love spending time with during free reading periods are graphic novels.
They love the exciting stories and artwork. I love that even my students at the lowest reading level can pick up a comic and feel no shame in reading something that's keyed to their grade level. My higher level readers love comics just as well. Unfortunately, our school's media center does not have many books that fit this mold.
My Project
I would like to expand our lending library with a variety of new comic collections featuring Neil Gaiman's revolutionary series The Sandman. This comic series has been the beneficiary of many awards and accolades, chief among them a World Fantasy Award. I feel that these books would enrich my student's literary lives with engaging, imaginative stories and beautiful artwork.
My students are college bound, and putting books that help engage and build stamina in their hands can only further prepare them for the world after high school.
Your help will ensure that students like mine get every opportunity to discover the joy of reading, while increasing their vocabulary and stamina through a medium that is not well-serviced in our high school's library. I thank you so much for considering our project!
