It is helping my students dive deeper into the world around them. By blending engaging articles with thought-provoking topics, the magazine sparks curiosity and conversation. My students, ranging from reluctant readers to avid learners, now eagerly look forward to exploring the latest issue. They have been using Upfront Magazine to explore current events, dissect media bias, and connect historical context to modern-day issues, fostering a well-rounded understanding of the world.\r\nOne of the standout projects that my students participated in involved a classroom debate inspired by an Upfront article about young people and voting. After reading the article, students were divided into groups to research and present information on the role of the Electoral College. Each group used evidence from Upfront Magazine to build their case, and the debate that followed was both lively and informative. \"I didn't realize how much I didn't know about voting,\" said Michael, a ninth-grader. \"This project made me want to learn more about how much my vote matters.\" His classmate Nathan chimed in, \"Upfront makes these topics feel real. It's not just facts; it's about things that affect us.\"\r\nWhen students first interacted with Upfront magazine, their excitement was palpable. Many were surprised by how approachable and engaging the articles were. \"It's not like a textbook,\" shared Miguel. \"The stories feel like they're written for us.\" Another student, Stevenson, added, \"I love how the articles connect to things happening right now. It makes me want to read the articles.\" This enthusiasm has transformed classroom discussions, with students often bringing in additional questions or sharing personal connections to the stories they've read.\r\nLooking ahead, my class is preparing for a research-based project on media literacy. Using Upfront Magazine's various articles, students will create infographics to educate their school community about identifying credible information online. This project not only builds on their critical thinking skills but also empowers them to be informed digital citizens. With the continued support of generous donors like you, my students are learning to navigate their world with confidence and curiosity.","fullyFundedDate":1726669452851,"projectUrl":"project/bringing-global-issues-to-classrooms/8499884/","projectTitle":"Bringing Global Issues to Classrooms","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Solis","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4875109_orig.png?crop=276,276,x169,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1595555508550","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4875109"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_69663","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":648,"numTeachers":61,"percentFrplEligible":85,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":90,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"10.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":65.0,"schoolId":69663,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Village Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Village Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/palm-beach-county-public-schools/village-academy-on-the-art/69663"}
