My Students
I teach several classes of middle school English Learners (EL). My students come from various backgrounds, including academic abilities, cultures, home languages, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Some things that they have in common, however, are that they are eager to learn and are curious about the world.
My students are hard workers.
They strive to do their best and achieve. The students want to make themselves and their parents proud. Unfortunately, they have many hardships to work through on a daily basis. Despite this, they are motivated, caring, and funny!
My Project
My English students rarely read at home in either their home language or in English. I am always eager to help them find something that will help them to become readers! I know that there are books are out there that will catch their interest. The students I teach have lower proficiency levels in English right now, so the idea of providing them with novels that will help their comprehension by providing visual aids is great!
Many students are drawn to graphic novels, and I hope this will be true for my EL students as well!
According to Lexia Learning, graphic novels can help English learners comprehend figurative language, explore age-appropriate interests, demonstrate punctuation and emphasis, and explain unknown cultural norms. What a win as an English teacher!
More than half of students from low‑income households
