My 12th grade students, most of whom are reluctant readers, want to make a difference in their world, but they don't know how. This graphic novel, March by John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell, will hold their attention and teach them how to be the change they wish to be in this world. The graphic novel will immerse students in the initial stages of the civil rights movement, following John Lewis from his youth to student organizing. Students will be inspired by the courage of John Lewis in the face of horrific obstacles. And most importantly, they will not want to stop reading! By supporting the purchase of a class set of this powerful graphic novel, you will support the next generation of change agents, as they begin their journey towards civic engagement and social action. You will also help students to remember that reading can be fun and educational. While reading the graphic novel, students will research and explore other contemporary student movements, so that they can learn about peers who are already seeking change. Students will select a movement to support. Then, students will organize themselves and prepare speeches, so that our class can have its own "march" for social change. This unit will be an experience these seniors never forget!
