Students Notice

This morning, I was standing at my classroom door, like always, greeting my students and reading a book. One of my students came to me and said, “Do you have this book? Have you read it yet?” I told her no, not yet. She said, “Here. This is yours.” I was speechless. I gave her the biggest hug ever!!!

I have talked to my students about the power of reading. I have shared with them the joy that reading brings me and how it has impacted my life in a positive manner. I also have made sure that I set an example with my reading. I tell my students about the current book that I am reading and why I liked or did not like it.

When standing at my classroom door, my students always see me reading a book. It can be the same book, or it can be a different one. But one thing is for sure; I always have a book in my hands. Now, I am beginning to see more of my students reading books, so I am glad that I am practicing what I preach and that my message is not going unheard.

Forever Reading

The Walking Dead: Volume 1, Days Gone Bye

Night of the Living Dead and its many sequels. Zombie Apocalypse. Swamp Zombies. Scooby Doo on Zombie Island. Redneck Zombies. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Land of the Dead. Kung Fu Zombie. Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies. Zombies in Tha Hood. As if you could not guess, these movie titles are all about zombies. Zombie movies have been around since the early 1900s, and they probably will not be going anywhere any time soon.

From the big screen to the television screen is where one can also see zombies. One such popular show is The Walking Dead. TheWalking Dead first aired in 2010 on the AMC TV channel, and now it is in its ninth season. Hence, one can conclude that it is a huge success. Because I was impressed with the first season, I became a huge fan of the show. At that time, I did not know that The Walking Dead was based on the graphic novel. Since I am forever reading, I decided to read the graphic novel.

Although The Walking Dead is an awesome television show, the graphic novel is even better. If a person follows only the AMC version, then he or she will not know the original storyline because the television version is different from the graphic novel version. If you have not read The Walking Dead: Volume 1, Days Gone Bye, then you are in for a surprise and expect some twists and turns.
