Because it's a beautifully illustrated graphic novel retelling the story of Elizabeth I, it allows us to practice important skills like analyzing how words and images work together to build meaning, comparing historical and fictionalized perspectives, and drawing connections between literature and history. For many students, this kind of text makes literary analysis more approachable, while still challenging them to think critically about theme, character development, and author's choices.\r\n\r\nIn our classroom, reading doesn't just mean sitting quietly with a book—it means engaging with the text in ways that help students build confidence. With Queen of the Sea, students take turns reading aloud, annotate in the margins, and discuss how the visual details expand or complicate the story. The format invites even hesitant readers into the conversation, and we've had lively discussions about everything from political intrigue to the emotional weight of a single facial expression on the page.\r\n\r\nSeveral students who don't usually see themselves as \"book people\" have been especially drawn to these novels. One student told me it was the first time they'd ever finished a book before the rest of the class, and another has been checking the illustrations against historical portraits we looked up together. These moments remind me how powerful it can be to put the right text in the right hands. Your generosity has made that possible, and I am so grateful.","fullyFundedDate":1746474743139,"projectUrl":"project/help-my-students-read-a-beautiful-retell/9254787/","projectTitle":"Help My Students Read a Beautiful Retelling of History","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Bartley","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9998469_orig.jpg?crop=868,868,x273,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1744592458514","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9998469"},{"teacherId":6236092,"projectId":8893884,"letterContent":"Your will have a profound impact on my students by introducing them to a unique and hands-on art form that fosters creativity, patience, and fine motor skills.
