Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

How do we build excitement about reading while simultaneously increasing awareness about the complex world in which we live?

I work with an extremely hard-working and promising group of 7th graders.

I see them for 8 hours a week of instruction in humanities--a combination of history and literature. Many of them will be the first in their families to attend college, and they work diligently day in and day out to strengthen their reading and writing muscles for high school.

My Project

My students are ardent readers. In addition to an hour or so of homework from me every night, my students read over a hundred pages a week on average in independent reading books. During this first semester, they have been demolishing any fiction series I have put in front of them--whether Twilight, Hunger Games, or Eragon. Now I am eager to get them equally enthusiastic about nonfiction. Major gate-keeper tests like the SAT are often as much as 50% nonfiction, and this genre is also essential for allowing students to gain content knowledge about history and current events. Junior Scholastic is an exciting and informative magazine that will be perfect for my students. With your support, every student will get their own fresh copy of this wonderful publication every two weeks. The magazine is rich in geography, primary sources, and history that are all relevant to understanding important current events.

With Junior Scholastic, I am confident that I can build just as much excitement around nonfiction as I have built around fiction.

Thanks to you each of my students will get not only their own magazine subscription but also an invaluable tool for building their content knowledge about our world.
