"I teach English to 180 seniors in a public high school with a high-poverty designation.

I need 70 copies of "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley so I can have my classes reading the novel(alternately) and then discussing the issues of the novel with a blog. Students will blog using a system like Blackboard, which introduces students to a forum used on most college campuses and thus prepare them for the rigor of their post-secondary education.

Your generous assistance will allow students to study and read a classic novel and to be interactively involved with this novel through the use of blogging. It will be an unforgettable experience that will help teach students, through the characters and their Online discussions, the consequences of their choices in an engaging and authentic learning experience. Please help me make it happen for these seniors! HIDE

My students need 70 copies of "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley. The cost of this proposal is $438, which includes shipping for any materials requested and fulfillment ."
