Middle school readers need accessible yet rich texts to develop a love of reading! That's why graphic novels are an asset in today's English classroom: they draw in reluctant, struggling, and multilingual readers with visuals that support understanding and add a layer of complexity.
The Giver graphic novel will launch our dystopia unit with an engaging shared reading of a classic dystopia that all students can access before we break into book clubs.
The Giver by Lois Lowry is a classic dystopia that has fascinated middle schoolers for generations by forcing them to confront questions about conformity, suffering, and happiness.
With these graphic novels, my students can read this classic swiftly and then deepen their learning with dystopia book clubs. They will choose from a variety of dystopias to match their levels and interests, and read them in student-led book clubs, connecting and comparing to The Giver as well as other dystopias.
Book clubs allow students at all reading levels to deeply engage and grow their skills as readers while making rich connections across texts.
