Engaging Readers

Help me give my students a more diverse classroom library. We need books like Hunger Games to engage readers as well as books like Americanized that will show readers a diversity of lives that they have not experienced.

My Students

My junior-senior Criminal Justice and Psychology and Humanities class is unique in that my students regularly experience a blend of their core subject matter with the power of creativity, inquiry, and self-expression. Our small learning community is active and engaged and in need of some help!

While our school is a small arts and sciences academy (about 500 9th through 12th graders), we are a public school who focuses on developing well-rounded young people who are strong in both their core academic studies as well as the arts.

Approximately 71% of our students receive free or reduced rate lunch, and many young people who graduate from our school are the first in their families to go to college. Since we reformed our old public high school and opened our doors 10 years ago, we have acquired tremendous resources. Most of our success is due to our dedicated staff who is always puts positive relationships with students first, followed by integrating core content with creativity and real world problem-solving. Our students are bright, creative, and incredibly grateful for authentic experiences and materials when available.

My Project

These books will continue to enhance the print-rich classroom that I strive to create. My classroom library is a place where students should be able to see themselves in the books that they read. It should also be a place where they can learn about others and venture to new places. All of these books have been chosen with my students in mind. These are books that are high interest and are student requested. Students will be able to choose books, which will help them continue to enjoy independent reading time.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of books that will allow them to read independently and improve their reading skills.

They will also be able to choose books that interest them. The best way to increase reading ability is to read more, and these books will continue to help my students grow stronger in reading. My students already have shown an astonishing interest in independent reading, and this project will only help enrich their experiences with the printed word.
