Help students have access to diverse, high-interest graphic novels for school and home. The list of books was created based on student representation and student interest. Many of the graphic novels were selected based on author/character representation that aligns with our demographics. The manga is selected as it is of high interest for the students but also that it builds social connections between the students as they bond over reading them. Currently, the only storage we have are bins which only allow them to see the first book. The students gravitate to books based on the visual of the cover. I have selected a cart that will help them see the books better.
The students benefit greatly from the use of graphic novels in the classroom but even more, if they are able to recognize themselves in the books. Students have the ability to borrow books to enjoy reading at home. Help the students continue to build on their enjoyment of reading.
