Funded Sep 24, 2016
I cannot thank you enough for funding my project! My students suffer from severe reading deficiencies brought on by undiagnosed learning disabilities. Many of them hated reading until we started offering graphic novels as an option. They are so excited to learn how to create their own graphic novels! With your help, 15 students at my school are going to be able to participate in a great experience.
On behalf of my students and my school, thank you for your generous gift!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. St. Peter

Students will learn how to create their own comics by reading the "Stormbreaker" graphic novel. We will learn all about character development, setting, and creating a plot through conversation. Next, students will spend the rest of the year drafting their own comic book/graphic novel using the Make Your Own Comic book kits, colored pencils, and "Draw Comics the Marvel Way" book. Students cannot simply look at the pictures to determine what is happening in "Stormbreaker." I chose this book because many of the students love the Alex Rider novels, and I hope to peak the interest of the lower-level readers. I would much rather have my students pick up a graphic novel than pick up no book at all!
