Your support is truly appreciated, and the impact it has had on my classroom is immeasurable.\r\n\r\nSince introducing Born a Crime into the reading material, I've observed a wonderful shift in the way my students engage with texts. The book introduces important lessons about resilience, identity, and the complexities of social issues—particularly race and apartheid. These themes allow our students to explore new perspectives and develop empathy while improving their critical thinking and analytical skills. The combination of Trevor Noah's humor and thought-provoking narratives has sparked rich discussions in class and opened doors to deeper conversations about history, culture, and current events.\r\n\r\nIn my classroom, reading has become more interactive and meaningful. Students are not only absorbing the content but are also encouraged to reflect on their own experiences and relate them to the book's themes. We're creating a safe space where students feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and questions, and Born a Crime has been instrumental in fostering this sense of community. The book's relatable tone and compelling storytelling have also inspired some students to read with more enthusiasm, as they eagerly dive into each new chapter.\r\n\r\nI've noticed that some students, particularly those who might have struggled with reading in the past, have become especially engaged with this text. They enjoy Noah's humor, which makes the serious themes more approachable, and are excited to discuss the chapters with their peers.\r\n\r\nYour contribution has not only provided my class with a fantastic book but has also created opportunities for growth and meaningful learning. Thank you once again for your generosity, which continues to enrich the lives of my students.","fullyFundedDate":1728312641922,"projectUrl":"project/why-every-student-needs-a-copy-of-born-a/8546751/","projectTitle":"Why Every Student Needs a Copy of Born a Crime","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Williams","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3580046_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1723339490010","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3580046"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_48731","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2012,"numTeachers":112,"percentFrplEligible":78,"percentAsian":6,"percentBlack":15,"percentWhite":39,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":36,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"18.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":83.0,"schoolId":48731,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Dunwoody High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Dunwoody High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/dekalb-county-school-district/dunwoody-high-school/48731"}
