What is better than reading a great piece of literature or a graphic novel? What about reading the same great book with your friends. I want to create student selected reading groups, or pods, using young adult literature and graphic novels to help my students understand a variety of themes and content that we explore during our study of history. This selection of literature and graphic novels will help my students to better relate to some difficult concepts such as loss, ethnicity, culture, family separation, and growing up in a changing world. Students will have the opportunity to select books on a broad range of themes and read them with three of their classmates, a pod. This will enable the students to have small group discussions based on a set of literature and history questions. To create their book review, they will act out, rap or draw their favorite part of the book. This will encourage their classmates to select their book for their next self-select reading assignment. By donating to my project, you will not only help my students understand history through literature; they will be "lit"! This project will help my students take what they read in literature and apply it to actual history content. After completing their "pod read", discussion questions, and book review, they will have a better understanding of the primary source materials that will be used to inform our content study. This is a win-win for my students as they will be doing what they love, reading and chatting with friends as they become more proficient young historians.
