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 Project

Reading should be a joyous experience, and graphic novels are so important to engage students and help make reading more enjoyable. Making connections with the reading is an important skill for any reader, thus providing students with graphic novels that have amazing details and illustrations to support the visualization.

Besides developing visual literacy, graphic novels can also support students in connecting with the curriculum we are learning.

Graphic novels are about making connections with a text, through their ideas and words. All kinds of readers can connect to graphic novels, develop their life-long reading skills, and build connections to concepts being taught in US history.
