To Dance November 10, 2008

Filed under: Uncategorized — Candace Hensley @ 10:44 am

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.
