In the past few years, \"Homegoing\" has been the most popular book that we read every year as many of my students can relate to the books themes of generational trauma, hope, and resilience. By providing these fresh copies, you helped me restock my classroom set that had been depleted because so many students wanted to keep the copies they were given. \r\nAlso, the conversations we've had based on \"A Deadly Wandering\" that focus on the idea (yes, idea) of multitasking were so heavily debated that my students were thoroughly engaged for days. Also, the novel's lesson about the perils of tech-based distractions have been highly engaging for so many of my students. \r\nFinally, thank you for providing me with a class set of \"Educated.\" If you have not read this memoir, I implore you to do so as quickly as possible. Westover's retelling of her experience getting an education against all odds is an inspiration for anyone who values an education. As you can imagine, students can lose sight of the purpose and value of a good education, and this book has and will continue to changes perspectives.","fullyFundedDate":1733237191636,"projectUrl":"project/exploring-themes-rhetoric-through-lite/8832320/","projectTitle":"Exploring Themes & Rhetoric Through Literature and Nonfiction","teacherDisplayName":"Dr. Van Owen","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp788964_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1515705126915","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/vanowen"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_97305","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":76,"numTeachers":16,"percentFrplEligible":92,"percentAsian":3,"percentBlack":39,"percentWhite":6,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":48,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"4.8:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":49.0,"schoolId":97305,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Urban Assembly School of Business on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Urban Assembly School of Business","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/new-york-city-dept-of-ed/urban-assembly-school-of-business-for-young-women/97305"}
