I am trying to use less tech in the classroom as it can often create distractions. I plan on using the No Fear Shakespeare books to help students break down Shakespeare's diction and to help students understand his meaning. I truly believe that using a physical book rather than a website will help students stay engaged with the text and start to appreciate and enjoy reading Hamlet. It's one of my favorite plays so I am excited to read alongside them.

I truly appreciate your support.\r\n\r\nEach year, I strive to give my students meaningful \"real-world\" projects that help prepare them for life beyond high school. One of my favorites is an independent reading project in which students create a podcast. Working in small groups of their choosing, they discuss a book they've selected, allowing them both choice and a new, engaging way to explore literature.\r\n\r\nCreating a podcast challenges students to plan thoughtfully, troubleshoot problems, and collaborate effectively with their peers to produce a high-quality final product. In the past, however, our microphones were not compatible with our school laptops or students' phones, which made recording difficult and frustrating.\r\n\r\nThanks to your donation, we now have equipment that works seamlessly. This has allowed students to focus on creating meaningful content rather than struggling with technology. The difference has been incredible—students are more engaged, more enthusiastic, and proud of the work they produce.\r\n\r\nThank you again for your generosity and for making such a positive impact on my classroom.
