My students love graphic novels and stories that run parallel to the popular narrative. When I heard that Jason Reynolds was coming out with a graphic novel version of "Long Way Down," I knew I would teach it to my students. However, due to school budget cuts in New York State and Covid reopening restrictions, school will unexpectedly be taught remotely in my district until further notice. Funding this project would give my students their own copies of the book we are reading, thus providing them with a more equitable remote learning experience and something to call their own. For these students, having some agency and ownership on their own education in a time when so much has been taken away from them could make all the difference.
