Hooray! This project is fully funded

I teach English 9 at a small public school. I have great students, but I am competing with a world of information when it comes to trying to hold their attention. It is not an easy job when my students see my tools as outdated.

Students can't learn anything from a book they won't read. The books I have to offer them in my classroom are books they call "old" and "boring." My students deserve to learn from books that keep them interested and make them want to keep reading! I want to show them that reading and learning can be fun!

I think through the book "The Hunger Games" my students will be able to learn the value of literature and enjoy what they are reading. This book has a complex plot, includes characters the students will be able to relate to, and uses numerous literary devices they will be able to learn from. I think it is the perfect choice for my English 9 students.

Your help will provide my students with a modern text that they will WANT to read and that they will be able to learn from. Please support my students!
