"I am an English teacher in a high-poverty high school located in rural North Carolina. My students are in the twelfth grade and are taking the AP English Literature exam in order to graduate from high school and become prepared for college. If these students earn a strong score, generally a 3 or 4, the college of their choice will likely give them college credit and exempt the student from an introductory English class. Our community is very small and over 53% of our students qualified for the free or reduced lunch program. According to the U.S. Census, "The per capita income for the families served by our school is nearly 50% less than the surrounding areas and significantly less than North Carolina's average". As a result of the high poverty, these students simply do not have the resources to purchase outside reading materials on their own. Each students is already required to take the test and pay $84 of their own money. It simply does not make sense to force them to also purchase this book which they would then throw away the following year. Therefore, it is my intention to have this proposal funded in order to have a class set of this great resource. I could then assign readings from the book as well as essays and discussion. My students have expressed an interest in works with a more feminine influence and we simply do not have the materials in our school library. It would greatly enhance the quantity of example questions the students would have access to and ultimately, increase their test scores on the AP English Literature exam. Your help with funding will provide years of increased knowledge and improved test scores for my students. You will be able to make it possible for students to perform well on the exam and not pay the $84 for naught. Thank you for your consideration!
