Graphic Novels to Reel in Reluctant Readers
Hooray! This project is fully funded
Celebrate Black Teachers and Students
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I am consistently amazed and inspired by my students' creativity, humor, heart, and hard work. Our school is located in a predominantly immigrant based community and many of our students families come from Caribbean countries. Our school, our families, and our students believe that reading is a lens in which we can examine our surroundings and self.
What they see of themselves and want to see of the world is powerful and what they reflect in their writing is inspiring.
My Project
Throughout the school year, my students read novels in a literature class, and on their own in independent reading. Our classroom library is quite small and caters to only a small set of readers, mainly those who already love to read. New genre types can unleash interest.
Graphic novels will provide my students with a variety of text types and get our must reluctant readers reading. The subjects of these graphic novels range widely from historical non-fiction to science fiction. The more literature available at their finger tips will continue to make them more aware of the world around them.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
