My Students
My students are amazing! They are attentive and strive every day to do their best work. I have been an educator for 14 years, and every year my students are full of life and eager to learn. I love seeing my students learn and become more analytical thinkers.
My Project
In my AP Language and Composition class, my students read a nonfiction book to study the author's purpose, content, and rhetoric. There are some gaps in my nonfiction collection. For example, many of the books I have for my students are older titles that do not offer a wide range of multicultural or female voices. I would love to have a wider range of topics that my students can choose from that will excite them to find the benefits of nonfiction books. Thank you for donating to my classroom and my students.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
