This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
On to year four of teaching! I have learned so much over the past three years, and I cannot wait for another successful school year. This year, I will be teaching tenth and eleventh English Language Arts with scholars that are eager to learn. I want to try and make my class as engaging and energetic as I can to make sure my scholars thrive.
Despite how excited my students may be about their education, many of them come to school with little to none of the necessary school supplies needed to be successful.
I work in a Title I school where my students qualify for the free or reduced-price lunch program. Even though my students may deal with terrifying real-life circumstances, they still come to school ready to work and ready to be challenged to the next level. My scholars never cease to amaze me with their wit, charm, and amazing ideas!
My Project
Please help my students receive 41 copies of the classic Mary Shelley novel, "Frankenstein." I want to introduce my students to this well loved classic, while helping them analyze the timeless themes the book has to offer.
Many of my students have not read the classics, so this is the perfect opportunity to allow them the chance!
This book will help my students discuss prejudice, something that is relevant to their own lives.
My students will also learn the dangers of the pursuit of knowledge and how pushing the limits of man kind can be disastrous. We will study secrecy and how secrets can be troublesome. All while enjoying the classic novel, "Frankenstein!"
