The Things They Carried

Help me give my students copies of The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Simington's classroom raised $662

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

We are looking forward to reading The Things They Carried and tracing the author's narrative style as he shares his experiences with the Vietnam War. It is a great option to make reading accessible. Tim O’Brien presents a modern voice and allows students to make connections to world history.

This text will offer an accessible modern voice in conjunction with a powerful voice actor in the audiobook version.

Thank you for considering our students. An engaging and modern text gives them the best chance to participate and develop as readers and writers.
