  • Let’s Be Creative

    Funded Aug 17, 2023

    Thank you for your contribution to our classroom. With your donation we are completing creative assignments and projects in response to the literature selections we read in class. For example, we use the giant post-its and markers for group brainstorming or to make posters. We used the small post-its for literature devices assignments. We made masks for our Greek Theater unit and used markers, construction paper, and colored pencils. Students made "quilt squares" that represents a memory using construction paper, markers, and pencils.

    All of these projects allow students to demonstrate their creativity. The students and I appreciate your support of our classes.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Hightower

  • Study of Fahrenheit 451

    Funded Nov 5, 2022

    Because of your help, my classes got to study an American classic novel. Fahrenheit 451 has such an important message. My students read the novel and discussed the importance of reading and knowledge to a democratic society. We also discussed the role of technology in our lives: when it is helpful and when it becomes a distraction that keeps us from doing more important things. And, very importantly, we discussed the importance of opposing censorship and what teens can do to stand up for their right to read.

    My students read the novel independently, and they completed projects and assignments based on the reading. One of the assignments was giant characterization posters. They did a great job on them and had fun.

    Thank you again for your support of public education.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Hightower

My students will use the markers, color pencils, and other art supplies to create visual essays and poster projects, alternate book covers, and other creative assignments. These projects are important enrichment activities for the literature units and independent reading projects. Some of the projects are independent assignments, but other activities are opportunities for students to collaborate on projects that reflect the ideas and themes that they encounter in their reading. These projects give students an alternate modality for students to covey their understanding of of literature concepts. Students get a chance to use higher level thinking skills and be creative at the same time.
