This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

As an educator, I am constantly seeking ways to engage and inspire our learners. One area that has caught my attention is the potential of graphic novels to foster a love for reading classic literature. I believe that incorporating graphic novels into our curriculum can serve as a valuable gateway for students to discover the richness and depth of timeless literary works. In addition, graphic novels possess the unique ability to break down complex narratives and themes into accessible, visually-appealing formats. By combining compelling storytelling with striking illustrations, these resources can captivate students and ignite their curiosity to explore the original texts. This approach can be particularly impactful for students who may struggle with traditional text-based formats, as the visual elements can serve as a bridge to deeper understanding and appreciation of classic literature. In addition, many of students will choose a graphic novel for their silent sustained reading in the classroom.

I would greatly appreciate your support in securing funding or resources to expand our collection of graphic novels.

Some of my graph novels have been lost and several students want to read through an entire series and don't want to miss anything from a lost book, This investment would not only benefit our current students but also inspire future generations to discover the timeless joy and wisdom found in classic literature.
