The graphic novel version of Romeo and Juliet by Gareth Hinds was hard not to love at first read! Filled with boisterous colors and diverse characters, the text allows students to see themselves and each other in a story that has resonated with many but often lacked visual representation when acted out. This text erases the idea of just one image and provides a new look without a new plot. An easy and fun to read format, even my reluctant readers, will read ahead. The graphic novel format adds a new layer to the story as it can illustrate the complex ideas of Shakespeare's language. This provides a leg up to my EL students and my entire class as we will be comparing the written/illustrated text to actual live renditions. The images in the text allow for some context and some pretty fun project opportunities too. I've dedicated almost half of December and most of January to help students through this text as it's their first grappling with Shakespeare, and I want to give them the best experience possible. So scaffolding is a non-negotiable regardless, but this particular version of the text opens up far more for them than reading the words off the page as traditionally done.
