The books and teaching resources funded through this project have allowed me to create stronger lessons and give students access to texts that challenge their thinking and strengthen their analysis skills. Having these materials on hand has made it easier to model close reading, guide students through complex passages, and provide concrete examples of literary devices and themes.\r\n\r\nI've been able to share these books individually with those who show interest or need extra support. Some students have taken them home to read independently, and others use them during class for reference and enrichment. It's been meaningful to see certain students—especially those preparing for the AP exam—light up when they recognize a connection between what we read in class and the new texts available to them.\r\n\r\nThe additional resources have also made a real difference in my planning and instruction. I've been able to design lessons that go beyond test prep and help students appreciate literature as an art form. These books have strengthened both my teaching practice and the learning environment in my classroom. Thank you for making it possible for me to keep expanding what I can offer my students.","fullyFundedDate":1747768098157,"projectUrl":"project/books-that-build-futures-ap-lit-for-col/9323619/","projectTitle":"Books That Build Futures: AP Lit for College Credit","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Curtis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7684289_orig.jpg?crop=2048,2048,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1611335519610","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7684289"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_129046","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":319,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":86,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":12,"percentWhite":4,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":78,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":81.3,"schoolId":129046,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Idea College Preparatory - Parmer Park on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Idea College Preparatory - Parmer Park","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/texas/texas-department-of-education/idea-college-preparatory-parmer-park/129046"}
