Reading the Graphic Novel: Maus
Funded Oct 12, 2009I am eternally thankful for the classroom set of Maus. Thank you so much for helping to contribute.
As my students opened the books, their immediate reaction was, "Sweet, a comic book!" This rid the students of their apprehensiveness about reading a text. My special education students were especially excited to try something other than a traditional novel, which, because of their reading ability, they often find daunting.
My students were engaged and successful during their reading of Maus. They couldn't wait to come to class, which is something I don't normally find! Thank you for being a part of making my classroom such a welcoming and engaging place!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Weaver
