Acting It Out!
Funded Nov 16, 2015Dear Donors:
Thank you so much for gifting my classroom with this set of books of "Monster," by Walter Dean Myers. We acted the screenplay out as a class, and then used it as a springboard for discussion of the difficulties facing teens today. We have since revisited the book while looking at documentaries about the lives of American teens from all walks of life, many of whom, despite their differences in socioeconomic status, experience similar downfalls as the characters int eh book.
My students enjoyed this text more than any other - we are so grateful to have been able to experience it together.
Thank you again for your generosity and kindness.”
With gratitude,

A Magical Book for Creative Thinkers
Funded Sep 16, 2015Thank you so much for donating to my project. We have read the book and compared it to the film. My students learned so much about film history from this project, and created their own short films and animations to pair with it.
You donation allowed me to purchase a class set of the text, "Hugo," and to share it with students from multiple grades. The students enjoyed reading this book so much, and many borrowed it to re-read. Your donation was an invaluable addition to my classroom this year.”
With gratitude,
Dr. Davis
