My Project

The items I have asked for, including colored paper and a binding machine, will help my students' storybooks look more professional. It will give my students a chance to be even prouder of what they create and share.

My students will create books for themselves and also for the elementary school students.

I teach 11th-grade American Lit. Throughout the course of the semester, I have my students complete two classroom storybooks. One storybook is created by students writing stories reflective of the American literary periods. The other storybook is a study in diction in which they take drawings from elementary school students and turn their pictures into one giant storybook that they give to the younger students.
