Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

What if...kids were excited to read? What if...students took the initiative to write their own stories independently? What if...art classes were offered to students on an ongoing basis and were focused on students’ interests? The Comic Book Club is our way of making these things a reality!

The Comic Book Club is a group of 50 students in 3rd through 5th grades who are excited to expand their reading, writing, and art skills through the medium of comic books and graphic novels.

Our school received Title 1 funds and many students come from impoverished and immigrant backgrounds. The Comic Book Club will prepare my students to think critically about issues, ideas, and topics that are important to them. I will encourage creativity by providing an environment where it is good to think differently and invent new possibilities. I hope to spark their imaginations and help them design new worlds in which they learn to solve problems creatively.

My Project

The 21st century is media-driven, and visual communication, critical thinking, and creativity are fundamental components of visual literacy. The Comic Book Club will prepare students to think critically about issues, ideas, and topics that are important to them. I will encourage creativity by providing an environment where it is good to think differently and invent new possibilities. Collaboration is an integral component of the Comic Book Club, as students will be required to work with their peers on projects and evaluations throughout the year. Visual, written, and oral communication will be strengthened through projects and group discussions about work in progress. My students will not only learn how to understand comics and graphic novels, they will also learn how to create their own and publish them online.

Without your help, my students will have a very limited supply of comics and graphic novels to learn from.

The resources I'm requesting would help provide a broad base of graphic novels with a variety of artistic and writing styles, as well as subject matter, which in turn will help my students find their own voice to create their own graphic narratives. Most of all, I'm hoping that these resources will instill in my students a lifelong love of reading.
