Teacher Killed Over an iPod: A Nouveau Urban Graphic Story

by Quandra Ann Kelly

Overview

Teacher Killed Over an iPod is a real-life drama that has played out in school districts across the country. Inspired by true events that are on the one hand tragic and on the other critical teaching moments, this story illustrates in graphic ways the frustrating dilemmas within the urban education environment: school systems struggling for consistency in their curriculums and policies; students disconnected from the classroom; and the adults, parents and teachers, who choose a competitive posture rather than a supportive one. As a reader, Teacher Killed Over an iPod can be utilized as a tool for intelligent discussion among young adults, teachers and parents about handling challenging classroom situations .The Supplemental Workbook at the end provides activities for vocabulary enrichment, literary analysis and dramatic presentation. This book should be included in every packet for aspiring teachers in English-speaking as well as Spanish-speaking school systems! It manages to touch upon a serious subject with candor and humor without being pretentious or overwhelming.
