My Project

We are a Title 1 school. Most students at our school are from low income families. My students are experiencing difficulties in writing. Many students of mine are artists.

To motive my students to be more interested and engaged in the writing process, I would like to provide blank hardcover books and dual tip color markers, so students can incorporate their amazing artwork into their writing.

I am also providing erasable pens, so editing and revising will be more pleasant. Students will be more engaged in discussion about their writing and presenting their writing to the class will be more interesting.
