Strong writers make for successful citizens. I currently teach eighth grade English which focuses on writing and grammar. Our student body contains a large percentage high poverty students, some of which do not even have a home computer.

This request will provide students with hands-on experience revising and editing their own and classmate writing, which is the best way to learn how to write.

The use of the document camera will provide more examples in a timely fashion that will enable deeper learning. Students will be engaged in hands-on revision for each essay. Students will place their essays under the document camera for full-class revision. The entire class will offer suggestions to improve content, organization, and style. During editing, students will gain hands-on experience editing their essays and peer's essays, therefore, reinforcing the class's convention skills. Students will also use the document camera to learn grammar by reinforcing grammar rules with teacher provided examples at an increased rate and by editing students' existing writing with the entire class.

You will make it possible for my students to visualize writing in real world applications. It will provide the technological and economic advances that will enable my socioeconomically disadvantaged students to succeed with their peers.
