My Project

Graphic novels are a fantastic tool for engaging reluctant readers because the visual format provides context and facilitates deeper understanding of the text. Being able to provide students with a wide selection of texts to appeal to their every interest increases the chance that a student will find a book they can love.

One of my biggest goals as an English teacher is to help every student find their path to lifelong learning.

These books will be instrumental in giving students the choice they need in taking ownership for their learning.

Ms. Murphy
Grades 9-12
