English Class: Learning Theme with A Raisin in the Sun

Funded Dec 28, 2023

Thank you immensely for your donations to my seventh grade English Language Arts class! Because of your thoughtful gift, each one of my students have their very own copies of "A Raisin in the Sun" and have been able to have access to the text outside of the classroom. Usually books must remain in the classroom because they are shared between the two classes I teach, but your donation has made it possible for them to engage with the text while at home and has increased independent reading in my classes.

I've discovered my students are completely engaged with this text like I have never seen them engaged with reading before. Students love this play! They love reading about the dynamics that the Younger family has to endure, and the drama. Every day, I have at least five students telling me how they've read ahead at home with the text and can't believe what has unfolded in the play. My students read the text as a class and they love acting out the parts. This could not happen without your generous donations and for that I am completely grateful. Thank you!”

With gratitude,

Mr. Reyes
