Help me give my students the ability to mark the text they are reading!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Duckworth's classroom raised $249

My Students

This year is unlike any other. I teach at a magnet-type high school; we have students from all over the city. I have a number of students in my mythology classes; most of them chose to take this class. There are freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors in my classes. After the last few months, students are struggling to get used to being back in class, carrying books, using a computer, but also maintaining personally.

My Project

My school is one of the largest in the area and we are very lucky, but I never seem to have enough paper to make copies for my classes. Normally, I can get the students to donate reams of paper, but after the last few years fewer and fewer students are able to donate.

Both my English I students and my mythology students need to have printed materials so that they can annotate the text like they would in a novel or any tangible text.

Computers are great, but it is not the same as annotating on real paper. Plus, I love using color paper to make class sets when able.
