Mrs. McCully's Social Justice/Investigative Journalism Book Club Reads
Funded Aug 11, 2020
Thank you for your generous donation. My students will benefit greatly from the kindness you've given to help ensure that they have the opportunity to read books that deal with timely and important issues relative to the difficult and complex times we live in. They'll grow in many ways as they read, analyze, research, and discuss these texts.”
With gratitude,
Mrs. McCully
This classroom project was brought to life by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and 17 other donors.

This set of texts will help diversify the current choices for my investigative journalism text sets that I have available for student book clubs. As a teacher, it is important that I help my students feel connected to the world around them, and it's through the reading of texts, writing about these texts, and discussing these texts that they grow as critical thinkers. Bringing these relevant and timely texts to the classroom will provide them with further opportunities to understand relevant and important social justice topics that coincide with the current climate of our country. Such texts are important, as they will bring students new perspectives while requiring critical thinking, questioning, reflection, and an opportunity to engage in civil discourse over important topics with their peers. For these reasons, book clubs are always a favorite unit for my students.
