Funded Dec 4, 2019Thank you again for your generosity in giving to my classroom! I love knowing that my students are being supported by friends, family, and complete strangers. Graphic novels are the perfect way to get reluctant readers engaged in a book. They can still have great depth of content and difficulty, but with the support of graphics, all students have access to them.
This grant focused specifically on nonfiction and historical fiction graphic novels. Textbooks can be overwhelming and not very interesting to my students, but when presented in a graphic novel, they can't put the story down! It is a great cross-curricular tool for my classroom and helps teach my students about our history.
When graphic novels are in full color with so many illustrations, they cost a lot more than your average novel. I have an extensive library in my classroom, but it has been difficult to get a good selection of graphic novels. Thanks to donors like you, it's possible!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Scott
