My students represent a group of students for whom a traditional education did not work. Many are educationally traumatized. All made a decision to come back to school to get their high school diploma. They attend my class twice a week to recover their English credit.
My Project
The majority of my students have a difficult relationship with reading. They want to read but they do not feel confident in their skills. They want to ask for help but they cannot even explain what they are confused about. After administering a survey, I learned that they would like to read graphic novels.
I researched graphic novels that are recommended for young adults who are reluctant readers and created a wish list of graphic novels that reflect their interests and life experiences.
My hope is that after reading several graphic novels of their choice, they will want to read more challenging literature.
