I loved this graphic novel. I think it would be an excellent way to get non-motivated readers involved in reading. Some students think books such as this one are not allowed into the classroom. I think some teachers are reluctant to put graphic novels in their classroom because they think these are all the students will read. I loved how emotional this book was. It made me feel as though I was right there experiencing the feelings and emotions of the dancer. I can see how little girls would see how their dreams can become reality through this book.
I think reading this to students and then allowing them an opportunity to write their own short graphic novel would be a great way for students to have an outlet to show emotion in their writing.
I totally agree. Also, I found a poem on your site, the I am a tree frog. Its pretty good, but good be a lot better. I think u can make a better final draft. Lots of potential.
I am a teacher therefore creating a poem that would be understandable for my elementary aged students. This gives them a base to write their own poems. I could write something more intellectual, but they would not understand.
