We are always trying to build a classroom library with classics, to graphic novels, to modern classics for students to read and engage with. Reading is always the most fundamental thing students can do in school, and with your help, are able to read some of today's most challenging and wonderful books to read and analyze for test practice. \r\n\r\nReading in our classroom consists of discussions, journal writing and presentations that build on the background knowledge of authors. In advanced English, we often have writing prompts that build writing stamina and reading fluidity. These things go hand in hand when learning and building on prior knowledge for student engagement with literature.","fullyFundedDate":1760611717090,"projectUrl":"project/modern-classics-for-modern-students/9814740/","projectTitle":"Modern Classics for Modern Students","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Namit","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3351525_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y169&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1716053585210","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/teachernamit"},{"teacherId":3351525,"projectId":9763029,"letterContent":"Thank you for giving us the resources we need!

Spanning from Lagos to the United Kingdom, and to places in the United States, the main characters Ifemelu and Obinzie find themselves falling in and out of love trying to navigate what it means to be part of a global society.

For an advanced literature class, we are looking for books with thought provoking topics and themes that challenge and make us feel empathy towards other people's stories that are not taught as much in today's challenging climate. James Baldwin's language and forceful, stark and passionate prose really makes us think about how we might treat ourselves, and treat others either with compassion or with animosity. What better text than \"Giovanni's Room\" to make this happen? Also, its themes on gender, race and sexuality are more relevant than ever because so many young adults now are often searching for stories that might mirror themselves.
