Your contribution toward our first novel of the year, Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley has been a literary adventure for eighty-six high school juniors (and this number will more than double over the next year). Students researched and presented period-specific scientific and cultural information. Individual students annotated extracts from the text and presented their observations on the projector camera, so all students could learn to unravel the layers of Shelly's nuanced work. We have explored literary techniques that help us discover global issues (themes) and have authored analytical essays. The culminating highlight of our Frankenstein study was our walking field trip to a local theater for a private viewing of Guillermo del Toro's newly released film, which added depth to students' experiences, illuminated even more global issues than Shelley's original text, and added enrichment for students of all skill levels. We had a great discussion about the differences between the two works – and oh the costume and set designs!","fullyFundedDate":1755729983051,"projectUrl":"project/re-creating-frankenstein-and-his-monster/9591614/","projectTitle":"Re-Creating Frankenstein and His Monster: A New Novel Set","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Burke","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6771607"},{"teacherId":2477309,"projectId":9616872,"letterContent":"This classroom library addition is really good.

Thanks to your donation, we now have essential tools like device chargers, dictionaries, and thesauruses that are already making a meaningful difference in our students' learning experience.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHaving classroom chargers has been a game-changer. Students can now keep their devices powered throughout the day, allowing them to engage fully in digital lessons, research, and interactive learning without interruptions. This not only reduces stress and wasted time but also helps ensure that all students—regardless of their home situation—have equal access to technology in the classroom.\r\n\r\nThe addition of dictionaries and thesauruses has also enriched our learning environment. Students are more confident when tackling writing assignments and reading tasks. I see them actively reaching for these tools to explore new words, improve their vocabulary, and refine their writing. It's encouraging to watch them take ownership of their learning and build skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nYour support has helped create a more efficient, inclusive, and engaging space for all of us. These simple tools have had a profound impact, empowering students to work more independently, think critically, and stay prepared.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our classroom and investing in the success of every student who walks through our door.","fullyFundedDate":1751049415046,"projectUrl":"project/ms-virlouvets-classroom/9404637/","projectTitle":"Ms. Virlouvet's Classroom","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Virlouvet","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5825446_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1564693019292","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/5825446"},{"teacherId":2482079,"projectId":9681791,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for the 2 new 3d printers.

One student made the saddest face you ever did see. Most students stared at me blankly, perhaps unsure of how to feel. I for one am excited. Getting away from AI is obvious, but the benefits of writing by hand are more and more on my radar!\r\n\r\nHere's what a story on NPR has to say about handwriting: \"A slew of recent brain imaging research suggests handwriting's power stems from the relative complexity of the process and how it forces different brain systems to work together.\" Furthermore, \"when students write by hand, brain areas involved in motor and visual information processing \"sync up\" with areas crucial to memory formation, firing at frequencies associated with learning.\" This synchronized activity is not happening with typing.\r\n\r\nI am so appreciative of donors who helped outfit my classroom with tools for crafting essays by hand.
