My Project

I love my students, reading, and teaching history. I feel that my students do not grasp the severity of hardships that people had to experience back in the late 1700s to early 1900s. Just learning about a time period is not enough, I want them to immerse themselves in the time period. As they say, "Reading Takes You Places."

One of my goals for this project is to get students reading.

Many students in 8th grade have lost the love of reading. Another goal is for my students to critically think about the time period. I am eager for my students to learn about historical topics in a way that they can see the differences and similarities between themselves and the protagonist. Novel studies are a great catalyst for journaling and creating a dialogue amongst students where they can safely convey their opinions and thoughts.

With the assistance of Donors Choose, I believe I can achieve my goals and more with the class sets of books. Thank you.
