My Students

My students are passionate, driven kids in a large downtown/urban junior high school. We have close to a thousand 7th, 8th, and 9th graders who take advantage of many advanced classes here, at a nearby accelerated math/science center, and at our sister high school. Our students are athletes, artists, musicians, and makers!

I love being able to work with students in the library to help them explore and enrich their worlds!

Being in such a high-pressure academic environment means my students have an especially high need for creative outlets and stress relief, both of which I'm dedicated to providing in their library.

My Project

Each year, our seventh grade students undertake a narrative nonfiction reading project in which they explore different types of books within that genre, select one that suits their interests and ability level, read it, and respond to it in a variety of ways. Some students are ready and interested in very meaty text-based books while others prefer or require a book with illustrations to support the ideas being shared.

Nonfiction graphic novels are an exceptional resource for any reader, especially those with a more visually-oriented learning style.

By offering excellent options in our nonfiction graphic novel section, we can reach a wider range of readers and inspire more students to explore narrative nonfiction and the various topics they'll discover within it.
