  • Planting The Seeds Of Empathy

    Funded Nov 19, 2018

    Thank you so much for your support of the work we are doing in Humanities this year. We originally hesitated in creating this project due to the size of our ask, so we are extremely grateful for your support in creating and offering a learning experience that will be unique to students this year. As we create our project and roll it out to our students, we are most excited that these books can be used for years to come! Each of your generous donations are greatly appreciated; I can't wait to get our kids reading soon!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Delaney

  • Who Knew An A-Z Book Could Teach Mesoamerican Civilizations

    Funded Apr 12, 2017

    Your support of my students is greatly appreciated! As we've looked for ways to engage our students this year, we've found trying new approaches to be the best option. Your generous contributions allow us to venture into different approaches with our students and reach ALL of them no matter who they are. Thank you again!”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Delaney

With these novels, I will have the ability to tap into my advanced learner's creativity to put them in charge of their learning during our unit about the Kingdoms and Cultures West Africa and Imperial China. One way the novels will be used is to have an exemplar for the project based learning activity we will be attempting in our study. Students will be reading the novel as an example of narrative writing that they will then imitate in creating their own stories of the history of West Africa and Imperial China. The author of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is an admitted vintage photo collector which he then turned into the inspiration for the text of the novel. Ransom Riggs used photos he had collected throughout the years to create the story of Miss Peregrine and the plot twists that accompany the novel. We will be using this as our model in our attempt at a Humanities department within our school where our history teacher will provide photos from West Africa and Imperial China, and I, as the English teacher will provide the information for the writing. Together we will have the students create a written and visual history of the unit of study, where the photos we give them are the inspiration for the plot they will write. Through this process, students will experience narrative writing outside of a "typical" essay format and gain an understanding of the innovations and achievements from West Africa and China. Your generous donations will help my students tap into their creativity and explore 7th-grade history like no text book can offer. My students will see the writing process, read a high-interest, engaging novel, cover a unit of social studies, and most importantly have fun with their learning!
