Introducing Just Mercy gave students the opportunity to engage with complex themes of justice, equity, and the importance of empathy. Because my students were expanding and commanding English language learners, the book also supported growth in critical reading skill summarizing, identifying themes, making inferences, and connecting personal experiences to broader social issues. The nonfiction narrative structure challenged them to navigate new vocabulary and academic language, while the powerful real-life stories encouraged close reading and thoughtful discussion.","fullyFundedDate":1739559161835,"projectUrl":"project/just-mercy-for-a-just-education/8888310/","projectTitle":"Just Mercy for a Just Education","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. F.","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4203636_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755887476596","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-factor"},{"teacherId":9307666,"projectId":8960507,"letterContent":"Words can't express my immense gratitude for your incredible support in funding my Laminating for Language Learning project.

The laminator will allow my students to create durable learning materials that can be reused and shared, reducing waste and maximizing our resources. For example, my students have used the laminator to display their work, saving their notes, and creating durable flash cards. My students have used the index cards to create personalized study aids to be successful on exams.\r\nYour generosity has directly impacted my students' ability to learn, organize, and take pride in their work.
