We have a wide range of learners in our classroom with a variety of interests and reading levels. Often, students are drawn to graphic novels as a dynamic entry point for literature. It is awesome that graphic novels have the summoning effect on so many students; I plan to use that draw and diversify the inventory of our limited graphic novel selection.
I would like to provide books that reflect the students' experiences as well as broaden their understanding of humanity on a global level.
I chose books that teach about history through a variety of lenses as well as current dilemmas youths face. My goal is to broaden their reading scope.
