My Project

My students realize the effect that staring at screens has had. I'd like resources that connect them to literature, non-digitally. Students have shown the desire to critically think and discuss themes, characters, and authors, drawing parallels to the real world. I'd like a wide range of texts to expose them to different authors, genres, etc.

We've also seen the need to connect with one another again, and these resources/texts can be a springboard toward a desired community as well as educational by offering an opportunity to dialogue about their learning.
