James Baldwin Book Club
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Evans's classroom raised $651
This project is fully funded
My Project
These books will expand my students' minds and allow them to connect with the lifestyles and philosophies of some great writers like James Baldwin, 2pac Shakur, Shawn Carter, Napoléon Hill, and more. These books will expand their minds beyond their 5-mile radius and push their dreams.
My goals for this project are for students to read the books and write one-page papers about how the book made them feel and what they gained from reading the book. I want my scholars to be able to see themselves in the books read.
My students are very unique because they are experiencing education from a technological position because of the pandemic and have lost the analog way of learning. This book club will help them create a balance.
This classroom project was brought to life by A Donor Who Loves Teachers
and 3 other donors.
Top rated for efficiency and transparency.
You donate directly to the teacher or project you care about and see where every dollar you give goes.
