My Project

This project is aimed at enhancing the learning experience of my Literature & Psychology course students through book clubs. My students are a diverse and enthusiastic group, and their unique qualities inspire me daily to create an enriching educational environment.

My students are special in their curiosity and eagerness to explore the intersections of Literature and Psychology.

Their diverse backgrounds and perspectives contribute to a vibrant classroom dynamic, fostering a collaborative learning community.

The primary goal of this project is to cultivate a love for Literature and Psychology by implementing literature circle book clubs. These clubs will provide students with the opportunity to delve into carefully selected books that explore themes relevant to both disciplines. Through guided discussions, collaborative activities, and critical analysis, students will deepen their understanding of human behavior as portrayed in Literature.

To achieve this, I am seeking support to acquire a diverse collection of books spanning various genres and topics within literature and psychology. The selected books will be thoughtfully curated to align with the curriculum and cater to different reading levels and interests. The specific items requested will make a significant difference in my students' learning experiences.
