This book has offered not just a unit, but an immersive experience into English Language Arts skills and standards. \r\n\r\nWe began the unit with a WeWillWrite.com activity where students creatively wrote stories accompanying images from the novel's movie. Students then wrote a reflection journal that would serve as a hook for the first chapter. Students made personal connections to the characters well before cracking open a book. \r\n\r\nThese books are challenging our youth to reflect on their own life experiences, society, and make connections between fiction and reality. I can't wait to see what the rest of this unit holds as we expands beyond the text to create projects! \r\n\r\nThank you for your generosity!","fullyFundedDate":1763429496046,"projectUrl":"project/the-maze-runner-novel/9892764/","projectTitle":"The Maze Runner Novel","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. McCallum","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10347512_orig.jpg?crop=1292,1292,x313,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1762803082712","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/dvmsmccallum"},{"teacherId":10347512,"projectId":9887790,"letterContent":"Thank you, again, for your kindness and generosity.

This project had been building up since last week as students participated in a creative writing assignment where they designed a flyer to sell a gingerbread house in the North Pole. After imagining what their houses would look like, each student was able to bring their house to life with all the materials you donated! This activity proved as a test of patience for many of the students and allowed them to practice problem solving skills in the moment. \r\n\r\nThe classes were filled with gratitude and enthusiasm. This may just be their favorite day of class this year! I am looking forward to making this a tradition with my future students.
