Continuing to Unwind with Great Literature
Funded Aug 6, 2024Thank you very much for your donation to my classroom project.
The students who have been using the notebooks and will continue to use them, are about to take the ELPAC. This is an exam that allows students who pass to reclassify, which means they are no longer an ELD student, but can be designated as bi-lingual.
This qualification allows them to earn including a Seal of Bi-Literacy at graduation.
Some former students have demonstrated mastery in Armenian, Russian, Tagalog, and French.
Your support has made a huge difference, and we all thank you very much.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Roddy
Unwind With a Great Read!
Funded Jul 23, 2024On behalf of my students and myself I would like to thank you for your donation to my project, which used the book Unwind as the centerpiece.
It has worked better than I could have anticipated.
The novel has allowed me to challenge my students by giving them pages for homework and assigning quizzes afterwards. They have passed the quizzes with high averages.
Moreover, students discuss the book the vibrant manner of a college seminar. It's so exciting to see.
In the coming weeks, we will continue to read books that have a similar theme of survival linking them. They include, Fahrenheit 451, Hatchet, The Call of the Wild, and the next novel in the Unwind series called Unwholly.”
With gratitude,
Mr. Roddy
