In order to differentiate for my special education students without "dumbing down" the material, I want to provide a graphic novelization of a classic, primary source novel all my students will be reading. By supplying my special ed students with an alternative form of a classic text, those student will be able to fully engage with their peers as they all learn together. All of my students are being asked to read a primary source novel, The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair to learn about the Progressive Era in American history (1880-1920). The novel gives them incredible insight into how the people of the day viewed their circumstances, and shows the reader the necessity of effecting change. The novel helps them to think critically about the world they live in and examine the ares of modern society that they may want to change. The nature of this learning target requires that students discuss the material together in order to get maximum benefit, however the novel can be challenging for some of my special ed students. Allowing that population of students to read a graphic novelization of this lit classic will allow ALL students to engage in conversation and discussion of important material. I love to keep all my students learning at appropriate levels for them, while maintaining a classroom of inclusion and acceptance for all learners.
