Build an Unforgettable Reading Adventure with Lord of Flies

Help me give my students a class set of William Golding's powerful novel, "Lord of the Flies."

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Kapele's classroom raised $169

My Project

My 8th-grade students are bright, curious, and eager to delve into complex literary works. To truly ignite their critical thinking and foster deep discussions about human nature and societal structures, I am seeking a class set of William Golding's powerful novel, "Lord of the Flies." Currently, our limited shared copies hinder their ability to fully engage with this thought-provoking text, impacting their analytical skills and participation.

Providing my students with their own copies of "Lord of the Flies" will be transformative for our classroom.

With individual books, they will be able to:

* Become active readers: Marking passages, annotating thoughts, and making personal connections directly in their own text.

* Engage in richer discussions: Easily referencing specific quotes and participating more confidently in class analyses.

* Develop deeper analytical skills: Practicing close reading and using textual evidence to support their interpretations.

Thank you for considering a donation to this project. Your generosity will directly empower my 8th graders to engage with a powerful piece of literature, fostering critical thinking skills and a deeper understanding of the complexities of the human experience.
