We are using these materials daily, especially during our current writing and rhetorical analysis unit. Recently, students used the new resources to annotate a speech and visually map out claims, evidence, and commentary. One student looked up and said, \"This actually makes sense now.\" That moment meant everything.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials first arrived, the excitement was immediate. Students were curious and eager to use them. What stood out most was hearing a student ask, \"These are for us?\" It reminded me how powerful it is for students to feel supported and valued.\r\nNext, students are applying these tools to a larger writing project where they will analyze complex texts and construct their own arguments. Because of you, they are more confident, more engaged, and more willing to take academic risks.\r\nThank you for investing in my students and giving them resources that truly make a difference.","fullyFundedDate":1746786452247,"projectUrl":"project/classroom-resources-and-environment-need/9316366/","projectTitle":"Classroom Resources and Environment Needs","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Cervantes","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp9783262_orig.jpg?crop=2520,2520,x70,y705&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1727492806441","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9783262"},{"teacherId":9107828,"projectId":9210590,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for facilitating materials for my English III class.
