Mr. Branchik from Lake Havasu City AZ is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Rev-Up Literacy With Chapter Books

My students need 60 copies of Chinese Cinderella The True Story of an Unwanted Daughter, to all be reading the same book so we can dive deep into the text and bring it to life through peer interaction.

My Students

Fresh out of Junior High they step through my doorway ready to start their high school experience. Many of my students struggle with fluency, comprehension, story elements, and grammar. But what I have on my side is that they are creative, energetic, full of hope and potential.

When a whole class collaborates on one book or story it allows for a higher level of thinking and participation.

The students love being able to collaborate together to create projects about what they have read and real life connections.

My Project

My classroom is not full of basketballs, paint brushes or a tenor sax but I strive to make my English class a place that my students look forward to coming to as much as they enjoy their electives. My goal is to solicit donations to purchase four sets of books. One set has already been picked up by a local business so I am moving on to book set number two, Chinese Cinderella.

I plan to use these books to light a spark within my students.

They need to experience the thinking process that goes into breaking a text down and examining its literature elements. I want them to make connections to the text and justify their thought process in their answers to questions or posed statements. I'm looking for these books to be a bridge between real life issues they are experiencing and give them a way to vocalize questions and solutions.
