Project-Based Literature

Help me give my students supplies for various project-based learning units like Shakespeare and To Kill a Mockingbird.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Potter's classroom raised $295

This project is fully funded

My Project

I have a very diverse group of 9th grade students that enjoy project-based lessons and units far more than the standard methods of learning. For that reason, students are in need of supplies to create universal design projects to show their understanding of the literature we read, like Shakespeare and To Kill a Mockingbird. These projects might include digital methods, but many students still enjoy the age-old tri-fold poster creation, character analysis posters, and creating props for play-style reenactments of famous works of literature. These supplies will provide that means for them.
