This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
I would like to immerse the students in a timeless tale of courtroom drama and individual deep rooted issues that can cloud their judgment.
I am a Literacy Coach at a struggling middle school. My school is quite diverse and we struggle with keeping our students engaged in reading.
My students have very limited supplies and the novels we have in our book room are outdated and not challenging enough. My students have always shown an interest in courtroom dramas. This play would hopefully engage them as well as immerse them in analytical thought.
I would need 38 copies of the play "Twelve Angry Men" in order to proceed with my unit of study. I usually have a classroom of 35 students. The extra copies would be for myself and another teacher if possible.
You will make it possible for my students to read and understand a quality piece of literature that has been deemed a modern classic.
