My ninth grade Humanities students are a spirited bunch of young minds. They are eager to learn about practical and applicable topics that they can implement their writing and communications skills in.
Our school unfortunately does not have a library, so, as an ELA teacher, I feel it is my duty to provide my students with a variety of books that they can relate to and enjoy, and through this, fall in love with reading.
I would love to provide a variety of written material in the form of novels and graphic novels, targeting a variety of reading levels and interests.
They want to learn about global issues and communicate their ideas in different ways. Through a variety of media, they are learning how to navigate and communicate in this world. They have the desire to learn in many different ways and to express themselves in an even wider variety of ways.
My Project
Our school doesn't have a library, which is a shame, however, our English teachers do their best to ensure that our kids have options when it comes to choosing books to read outside of class.
By providing my classroom with a bookshelf and some books to get it started, you are providing children with the opportunity to get lost in a world far away in their head.
So many of our students get caught up in the digital world that we are losing the ability to show them the amazing power of imagination and reading.
My students have different reading levels and interests, and by providing them with options, I hope to engage them and spark their love of books.
