My Students

My 7th grade students are open-minded and passionate about social justice. Our school does not have a formal library, and I have been working on building up our own classroom library. My students have expressed a mature awareness that many of our books are written at the Z+ level (that is, for high school reading level and beyond). As an English teacher, my most important job is to help unlock the world of literacy, and that is hard to do when the books I have to offer are frustratingly difficult or thematically beneath their interest. Based on student-request, we would like to fill our shelves with books with 7th-grade-relevant topics captured in a variety of text complexities so that all students have access to compelling stories.

With thoughtful book choices at their disposal paired with their personal readiness to grow their reading and writing​ skills this year, these kids will be unstoppable and totally ready for high school.

My Project

Graphic novels are what my students would like to see more of in our in class library. Graphic novels are incredibly engaging, especially for students who are reluctant to read. They provide the extra support the kids need to get through and finish a text.

For students learning English, graphic novels provide the perfect amount of support to gain context, learn vocabulary, and build literary skills.

With your support, I can fill my shelves with these books that have been hand-selected by my most impacted students and that reflect their passions and lived experiences. Thank you!
