• Exploring Frederick Douglass & 12 Angry Men in Literature Circles!

  Funded May 28, 2017

  It has been incredible to see my students demonstrate a love of literature while reading "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" and "Twelve Angry Men" in small groups.

  I used these books to teach my students the roles and responsibilities of literature circles, which is an approached developed by Harvey Daniels to help students become more engaged and energetic readers.

  Many of my students admitted after we were finished a book before my class and that is the first obstacles the have faced and overcome on the their path to college.

  Thank you.”

• Improving Student Literacy with Literature Circles & 12 Angry Men!

  Funded May 20, 2017

  You have made a huge difference in my classroom.

  Thank you.

  "Twelve Angry Men" by Reginald Rose has made a significant impact in my classroom, being used in literature circles (small group discussions) that allowed/facilitated students thoughtfully interacting with a great book. It was awesome to see my students so thoroughly engaged in discussion with a valuable resource, funded by your generous contribution to Donors Choose, and it has generated energy and momentum in class that I have seen spill over into other classroom activities.”

• Chromebook Tech To Enhance Student Literacy

  Funded Mar 12, 2016

  Thank you for contributing to the funding of this project so that I can work everyday for my students to reach for a college education.

  Before this proposal was funded, the majority of my students did not have sufficient access to computers because they do not have them in their homes.
