Writing and Research in the 21st Century

My students need Chromebooks for Writing Workshop and for research. We do not have enough computers in my school, and students are frustrated with their inability to revise their writing.

My Students

My students are a diverse group of young teens who are enthusiastic about their writing. These children come from over twenty different countries including new immigrants and refugees. During the year we write personal and biographical narratives, as well as all types of essays.

The students in my class also participate in the National History Day program.

For this they need to conduct extensive research using data bases and national archives. Everyone must complete a project no matter their experience!

My Project

We need 20 Chromebooks so every student can write at the same time. Students in seventh and eighth grades need to write on a daily basis without having to worry about competing with other teachers and specialists for a computer cart. Frequently the cart at my school is reserved for testing. With 20 Chromebooks in my classroom, students will be able to work on their writing in class and also at the end of the day.

This technology will make opportunities for students more equitable in my classroom.

Having individual Chromebooks will enable the students to conduct quality research with databases and to find primary sources for their History Day projects. The research papers will lead to performances, documentaries and websites. Computers for every student will allow them to work on projects in class where teachers can help them.
