Book Thief for AP Literature
Funded Nov 20, 2023The students LOVED these books. We were able to read and discuss them in class in detail. It was an incredibly engaging and memorable unit. Students really were able to dig in and fall in love with a book. This would have never been possible without the kindness and generosity of this gift!
It really helped to increase student's skills and abilities. They really connected to the characters in the novel, and that was obvious in their discussions. Many of the end of year projects came from this novel.
I have always wanted to teach this book and can't believe it finally happened!”

Novels for AP Literature!
Funded Feb 6, 2018Thank you so much for these novels! They were a huge improvement for the students to interact with literature. I was so proud of the work that these students were able to accomplish and that is thanks to you. Students were able to dig into the text and interact in a meaningful way. The work that they created was inspiring and the class discussion was some of the best in my career. The art that was created still hangs in my classroom, and it will be there for years to come. All of this is possible thanks to your generosity.
Thank you!”

Novels for AP Literature
Funded Aug 16, 2016In just the short time that my students have had these novels they have been a great addition to the classroom! Currently, my students have completed reading Frankenstein and it was a great exploration of themes and tone for the students. It was incredible to see the conversations that this book inspired. The students deeply engaged while debated who was the true monster. They would have never been able to do this without these books!
Reading in my room is a very active experience. Students take active notes and use sticky notes to mark items that they find important. It is an amazing to see how they are reading and engaging with the novel. This is only the first one and I can't imagine how the second will go!
The students have been enjoying the books, and there are some students who are genuinely loving the novels. Their reactions have been hysterical. They have been able to pull small details and react meaningfully. The class discussions have been wonderful and I cannot wait to read the next two novels with my students!”
