My Students

My students need several ways to go about the process of composing original writing and writing about reading. They love a good book and have stories of their own to tell, but sometimes they need a jump start to get their ideas on paper.

We are a high poverty school where basic supplies are sometimes in short supply.

My students already have lists from their classes asking for materials, and it would be too much for parents to fund these particular art supplies. They would appreciate the use of different types of media to show how well they understand a concept in reading or writing.

My Project

My students will use these supplies to create scenes from texts that have clear tone, to understand idiomatic language, and to create images where meaning is implied. They will also create mood in their narrative and poetry writing, and visually break up the parts of argument and informational writing.

My students will have greater confidence in their reading and writing abilities when they can build their skills in fun, interesting ways!

Even big kids get excited when given the chance to use watercolors, pastels and big paper!
