Unfortunately, How to Read Literature Like a Professor was unavailable through the platform.\r\n\r\nWith these new texts, my class is able to refer to pages in class and be on the same page. We had a conglomeration of various editions of the previous books, which were out of date and in need of love. For my classroom, we spend a lot of time reading together and answering depth of knowledge questions. As an assessment, the students use the books to write essays. Having the same copy means that their MLA citations will all match every book in the classroom, which is very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are students that are really enjoying the books that are purchased. My freshmen have finished Fahrenheit 451 and are writing their essay on it right now. Overall, the students seemed to enjoy the book more than they have enjoyed reading in the past. Additionally, my juniors will begin reading the other texts soon!\r\n\r\nWe really appreciate your generosity. You have made a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1758064419391,"projectUrl":"project/books-for-brains/9707908/","projectTitle":"Books for Brains","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Stinson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10249902_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1757685339620","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/joshuastinson"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_78915","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":88,"numTeachers":13,"percentFrplEligible":46,"percentAsian":1,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":95,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"7 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"6.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"RURAL","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_REMOTE"},"inStateSupporters":37.5,"schoolId":78915,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Potter - Dix Junior Senior High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Potter - Dix Junior Senior High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nebraska/potter-dix-public-schools-9/potter-dix-junior-senior-high-school/78915"}
