Academically, students are practicing close reading, analyzing poetic structure, and exploring how an author uses figurative language to convey complex emotions. We're also diving into character development, point of view, and theme. On a deeper level, this text encourages empathy, resilience, and conversations around family, memory, and identity. It's a beautiful bridge between teaching literary craft and helping students process real-life issues.\r\n\r\nReading in our classroom is a mix of quiet reflection, shared discussion, and creative expression. Students often annotate as they read, jotting down reactions, questions, and personal connections. We have regular read-alouds to appreciate the rhythm and voice of the verse, followed by collaborative conversations that help students explore meaning together. We also incorporate activities like found poetry, character monologues, and visual storytelling to deepen comprehension and engagement. It's dynamic, interactive, and always anchored in student voice.\r\n\r\nYes! One student who usually struggles with long chapters has found a new confidence with this novel's verse format—it feels more approachable and emotionally resonant to them. Another student, who is passionate about football, was immediately drawn into ZJ's story and has shared meaningful insights about the pressures young athletes face. Across the board, students are connecting with the themes of change, memory, and identity, often sharing their own family stories during discussions. It's been a joy to see how this book sparks both academic growth and emotional connection.","fullyFundedDate":1736968838842,"projectUrl":"project/turning-pages-changing-lives/9052838/","projectTitle":"Turning Pages, Changing Lives!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Maite Hernandez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp2756090_272x272.png?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1473209122275","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/hernandez4th"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_69838","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":2096,"numTeachers":105,"percentFrplEligible":14,"percentAsian":11,"percentBlack":3,"percentWhite":18,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":63,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"20.0:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":94.0,"schoolId":69838,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Falcon Cove Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Falcon Cove Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/florida/broward-county-public-schools/falcon-cove-middle-school/69838"}
