  • Help Me Continue Learning as I Renew My National Board

    Funded Nov 20, 2019

    I cannot begin to express my gratitude for your support and investment in my continued development as an educator.

    My donors choose grant was funded today and I am excited to begin the hard work of analyzing, evolving, and reflecting upon my teaching practices, through the renewal of my National Boards Certification, so I can provide my students with the best possible educational experience I can.

    Your donation is an investment in not just me, but my students for years to come. Thank you for believing in us.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Larsen

  • Broadening My Student's Critical Reading Selection

    Funded Nov 13, 2019

    I am beyond excited to see this project funded, and with it, the opportunity to expand my students’ literary opportunities with the engaging and profound work of Marjane Satrapi. Including Persepolis in our collection of book club titles gives students a chance to not just read something high-interest, but something critically driven and culturally complex. I greatly appreciate your contribution to this effort, and thank you for supporting reading and public education.”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. Larsen

This year, I am taking a new approach to teaching in my English class. I am using graphic novels as a central foundation to the major concepts, themes, and analysis that we do together as a class. While we have the core novels selected, I also plan to broaden my students' exposure to culturally-sustaining reading through numerous different options for high-interest, diverse, graphic novels to be used in book clubs. This project will provide 20 copies of a specific, critically-acclaimed, graphic novel (Persepolis) for my students as a choice for their student-driven books clubs. It is my desire to not just compel my students to critically read, write, listen, and speak... but to foster a life-long love of reading in the process. This project helps me move forward with that goal.
