Your contribution is already making a meaningful difference in our classroom, giving students access to a powerful text that both engages and challenges them.\r\n\r\nThrough this novel, students are not only improving their reading comprehension and literary analysis skills, but they are also grappling with deeper lessons about perspective, identity, and justice. The unique structure of the text, written as a screenplay interwoven with journal entries, allows students to practice analyzing multiple genres, strengthening their ability to evaluate narrative voice, point of view, and text format. In addition, the themes in Monster open the door to critical discussions around choices, consequences, and the complexities of fairness in society, helping students to build empathy and develop stronger critical thinking skills.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has given our students access to a story that reflects real-world issues while providing them with essential academic tools and life lessons. We are deeply grateful for your support.","fullyFundedDate":1582654342472,"projectUrl":"project/social-injustice-inequity-for-young-st/4710682/","projectTitle":"Social Injustice & Inequity for Young Students of Color","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Domer","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp5900187_orig.jpg?crop=434,434,x189,y165&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1693418970241","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mr-domer"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_35930","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1208,"numTeachers":60,"percentFrplEligible":76,"percentAsian":24,"percentBlack":24,"percentWhite":8,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":34,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"9 - 12","studentTeacherRatio":"20.1:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":63.8,"schoolId":35930,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Renton High School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Renton High School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/washington/renton-school-district-403/renton-high-school/35930"}
