My Project

If we get these books donated, I will be able to give my classes well-written resources that pertain to what we are covering in our classes. These books are not only for class projects and information; they can also be read for enjoyment!

My Goal for this project is to promote historical literature by making good books available to students in my classroom.

Most of my students enjoy history, so I would love to give them some resources they are interested in that will keep them engaged and hopefully encourage them to read more historical literature!
