Like I mentioned in my initial project letter, we received Shelley's 1818 text as part of another DonorsChoose project, and over 80 of us went to see the film in a locally owned theater. \r\n\r\nThis spring, students will be assigned creative projects that cover their choice of works that we studied this year, and several have expressed interest in using the screenplay as part of their plan. At least one group will be creating a podcast that compares and discusses both Shelley's novel and del Toro's adaptation. I'm looking forward to seeing what students produce. \r\n\r\nThank you for your continued support of our students. I wish I could share the podcast(s) and other projects with you. We will certainly use your generous gift next year and in the future.","fullyFundedDate":1764208456787,"projectUrl":"project/analyzing-frankenstein-through-the-ey/9927671/","projectTitle":"Analyzing Frankenstein -- through the Eyes of Guillermo del Toro","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Burke","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6771607"},{"teacherId":6771607,"projectId":9925049,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for providing access to multicultural literature that is not available in our school library system.

I had students \"reserve\" books to check out over winter break right away, and I enjoyed the one on one discussions I had with students about what they read when we returned to school in January. \r\n\r\nRight now, we are reading a class novel, and some students have finished the whole book ahead of schedule, so now more students are reading these new additions to our classroom library. \r\n\r\nI've recently asked some students to read Maria Helena Viramontes' novel, Under the Feet of Jesus and Jon Okada's novel, No-No Boy; I'd like to know whether or not they recommend that next year's sophomores have the opportunity to study one of these texts as a class.","fullyFundedDate":1764208457030,"projectUrl":"project/building-a-multicultural-reading-collect/9925049/","projectTitle":"Building a Multicultural Reading Collection","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Burke","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-4_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6771607"},{"teacherId":10237735,"projectId":9712945,"letterContent":"The impact of having Blue Books in the classroom has been felt by all of my students, as both the Sophomores and Juniors have now completed their first essays in them. The process of getting the students to write by hand is still developing; they are learning strategies like utilizing thesauruses and dictionaries, as well as how to organize their ideas before they write their paragraphs. I also find that I am learning strategies for teaching, with the blue books, which allow me to give the students feedback that they can reference on their future essays. \r\n\r\nI have set up their folders, so each student has a folder with all of their important work in it. This gives them a place to store their work, and a level of agency to access it.

Your contribution toward our first novel of the year, Frankenstein, by Mary Shelley has been a literary adventure for eighty-six high school juniors (and this number will more than double over the next year). Students researched and presented period-specific scientific and cultural information. Individual students annotated extracts from the text and presented their observations on the projector camera, so all students could learn to unravel the layers of Shelly's nuanced work. We have explored literary techniques that help us discover global issues (themes) and have authored analytical essays. The culminating highlight of our Frankenstein study was our walking field trip to a local theater for a private viewing of Guillermo del Toro's newly released film, which added depth to students' experiences, illuminated even more global issues than Shelley's original text, and added enrichment for students of all skill levels.
