The Tortured Bard Department

Help me give my students a taste of William Shakespeare with posters and books of his!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Dudek's classroom raised $175

This project is fully funded

My Project

I recently completed a Macbeth unit in which I realized most of my students have never read William Shakespeare before. One student even said that I have exposed her to a new genre she would like to continue to read.

In honor of my students' sentiment, I am asking you to back the bard by funding this project!

I would like to put more of his books in my classroom library so students can continue to discover and read Shakespeare as they see fit. I would like to encourage students by hanging his posters in my classroom.
