In our classroom, students are used to reading one class novel, discussing that novel, and then writing an essay on that one novel provided by the school. There is little variety, choice, or opportunity for inquiry. These graphic novels will offer them the opportunity to explore the topic of our unit (immigration) in the book of their choice, while also supporting their social-emotional needs of being in community and practicing autonomy
After learning online for over a year, my students need more opportunities to discuss rich texts with their peers in an accessible manner. Graphic novels provide that access to my English language learner students, my students with an IEP, and all struggling learners. For my more advanced students, diving into a book club will allow them the freedom to soar to new heights.
My students are worth the investment. I hope you'll help me show them this truth.
