These novels will help me better teach my students important reading techniques, as well as keeping them engaged. Teaching students aged 14-16 often means that the novels are not as relatable, so the formatting of the novel is able to reach students who may never want to read in class or at home. Creating a class mentality of interest in reading, and an understanding of various writing styles and formats is a concept that can stay with students throughout their learning careers. By using graphic novels, the material becomes more accessible and interesting, which keeps an engaged and exciting classroom in a generation that is not always enthused about reading. Students are able to grasp different ideas, follow plot lines, and visualize the development of characters in a way that is not always possible, especially for students with varying levels of English language proficiency. Often times, getting students to feel comfortable and confident with one book can change their entire mentality and view on education. We will use these books to meet writing and reading standards, and fully immerse ourselves into the world that Laurie Halse Anderson creates in her Young Adult novels.
