The titles are both realistic and dramatic and work to offset Asian stereotypes. I actually finished reading\u00a0<em>American Born Chinese<\/em> (shown here) earlier this week, and it is perfect for both middle and high school discussions. The graphic novel grapples with the topic of being discriminated against in school due to your ethnicity, but it also includes common rituals of growing up, like asking a girl out for the first time and fighting among best friends.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1518\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1518\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/horselabel.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1518\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blog.quickschools.com\/2012\/05\/04\/weekly-link-round-up-1-magnets-horses-and-star-wars\/horselabel\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/horselabel.jpg?fit=795%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"795,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Derby Day Horse Label\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Horse Labeling Activity by Babbling Abby&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/horselabel.jpg?fit=795%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1518\" title=\"Derby Day Horse Label\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.quickschools.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/horselabel.jpg?resize=300%2C289\" alt=\"Derby Day Horse Label\" width=\"300\" height=\"289\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1518\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Horse Labeling Activity by Babbling Abby<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a title=\"Derby Day Horses\" href=\"http:\/\/theinspiredapple.blogspot.com\/2012\/05\/back-to-school-for-big-kids-more-horses.html\" target=\"_blank\">Derby Days!
