My Students

My students in grade eleven are hard-working, multi-tasking-style learners. They balance academics, athletics, and social commitments with after school and weekend jobs. They range from high to low socioeconomic levels as well as a broad range of learning levels. Their ethnic backgrounds are diverse; foreign exchange students share the halls of our school.

My students are winners in the classroom, standouts on the field and court, and compassionate future leaders of our community.

They work together with faculty members to achieve greatness each and every day.

My Project

Visual literacy can and will be enhanced through the use of graphic novels in the classroom. In order to appeal to all learning styles, combining the option of a graphic novel version and a classic text provides both choices and the platform to produce a comparative analysis of the piece.

The roaring 20's was a colorful decade in description, so using a graphic novel version of The Great Gatsby to visualize the era will enhance student comprehension of the theme.

Whether or not the American Dream exists and can be obtained is the culminating idea of the piece despite the version that students choose to read.

It has been proven that the pairing of words with images increases student understanding, so adding a class set of these graphic novels to our classroom library will benefit reading comprehension skills.
