Seeing History With a Graphic Text

Help me give my students a class set of the graphic history book, Samurai.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Reif's classroom raised $295

My Project

Students in my 7th grade social studies classes are always saying, "show us a picture" about our various topics of study. However, it is not always easy to locate enough visuals to really help them put the pieces together. History comes alive for students when they are able to visualize the time period and its people.

Samurai, part of the Graphic History series, will show my students what samurai looked like and introduce them to the role samurai played in feudal Japan.

Students will find the graphic format engaging and will be eager to learn more about Japan during the Middle Ages afterwards.
