My name is Rez is a graphic novel told by Toby Morris. Rez lives in an Iran refugee camp with her family. They live in a tent with six other families. The camp they live in is overcrowded, not enough facilities, and there were no schools.
After nine years in the camp the were moved to New Zealand. Rez went to school in New Zealand. The only thing Rez could say in English was, “my name is Rez”. Children teased and laughed at her, saying she was like a robot, “my name is Rez, my name is Rez”. Rez finally became comfortable with her school and understood English, she also got moved into a class for special kids.
Rez did have a tough time at school but then she became a lawyer in Auckland and was named young New Zealander of the year.
Hi Eva, I really like your storyboard! It clearly shows what's going on. Did you like reading the text? Did you like writing the summary? And what was your favourite part (the storyboard or the summary)?
