I've been tasked with creating a brand new Research and Writing course for our 9th graders at the Bronx School for Law, Government, and Justice. Our 12th graders are enrolled in a year long thesis course that results in a 10-12 page research paper and presentation but they have struggled with this project year and year because their experience with foundational research skills is limited.
Because the school and community's resources are very limited, technology, namely laptops, are not available to our 9th grade students. My students need a class set of laptops to work on research and writing in small groups. They'll support eachother in researching, writing, and peer editing. The 4 laptops I'm trying to fund with this project will support their learning in addition to the 3 desktops I was able to recover from a closed computer lab, and 3 older laptops I've recovered from a recently deceased family member.
Please, help my students in their work to prep for their future senior thesis project and the post-secondary education they all strive for!
