My students need graphic novels from different genres such as historical fiction, realistic fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, science fiction, sports, and classics to immerse them in sensational stories and mind blowing art.
Deep in the heart of the Silicon Valley rests a beautiful campus full of happy energetic students who come to school each day eager to learn in a meaningful learning environment. The students at my school inspire me to create lessons and be an innovative teacher that will spark their imaginations, add to their life schema, and help prepare them for the world of the 21st century. I am proud to help students do their best...whether it is learning the language, picking up comprehension skills that will enhance the reading experience, solving rigorous math problems, expressing themselves through the arts, experimenting to challenge an idea, or having fun throughout the experience.
My Project
Inspiring kids to read can be difficult, especially if they cannot connect with a genre of text or find books that interest them. As a child I was one of those kids who couldn't find books that would captivate me...until my parents brought me to a comic book store. This experience opened my eyes...art and interesting (fun) stories together in one book? I was hooked. This led to me finding a love of reading, not just comics, but books of varying genres as well. That has not changed to this day. In my classroom, I use graphic novels at different levels of complexity (for the range of readers that I have) to inspire reluctant readers find a love of reading. This collection of graphic novels I am asking for will inspire classes for years to come to read, appreciate amazing stories, and find a love of artistic expression. Thank you!
