Classic Texts for Modern Students

Help me give my students classic texts that they can access, regardless of any learning disabilities, reading disabilities, or despite being English language learners. I want my students to know that they can read classics successfully!

My Students

Our school is home to a lot of diverse students with diverse needs. Despite their various needs, however, our students at our middle school have a lot to offer. They are passionate, thoughtful, caring individuals, and sometimes their areas of interest do not always align with the traditional norms and topics addressed in the average classroom.

Many of our students need a little extra support and help to become successful learners, but we teachers are dedicated to giving them that help and support.

Sometimes we need a little extra help to make that happen!

My Project

I teach English Language Arts inclusion classes, which means that I have a variety of learners in my classroom. I love being able to help all students access difficult "classic" texts in a way where they feel accomplished and successful, and graphic novels are a great way to make that happen.

The graphic novels and adapted language books I am asking for are going to be instrumental in helping previously unsuccessful students feel successful with reading "classics." I am passionate about ensuring students are able to have positive interactions with classic, canonical texts, and I need your help to do that.
