My Students

Do you remember feeling overwhelmed when you first realized how big and complicated the world was? My students feel the same way. They want and need to learn about the larger world around and beyond them, but they often don't know how to process so much information.

At my school in Tennessee, school funding is very limited, and shrinking.

95% of the students in my school receive free or reduced lunch, living below the poverty line. Many of my students and their families struggle to have their basic food and shelter needs met. My students enjoy reading novels, but they also want to learn more about the world in which they are growing up, and they want to draw connections between these events and their own lives. My students deserve to read about the fascinating developments and challenges of today in a format that will help them meaningfully process and analyze them.

My Project

My classroom library is full of young adult novels that I supplied with personal funds, but quality, high-interest nonfiction and informational text is hard to come by (old encyclopedia sets just aren't up-to-date!). Scholastic's Scope Magazine brings to life current high-interest events, topics, and trends. Each issue explores a theme from a variety of perspectives, including interactive, engaging activities like Reader's Theater (a related scripted play), a short fiction piece, grammar activities, and a debate kit. These cross-curricular magazines will help me simultaneously incorporate a high-density of reading, writing, speaking and listening skills that students need to master to be college and career ready. Scholastic Scope will be an essential tool in building student knowledge and proficiency at navigating informational text, a critical skill they will need for their 21st century careers. The magazine helps direct students to what's important and provides supports.

As my students work to meet rigorous academic standards and become collaborative, productive citizens, they need to be literate and fluid with informational text.

I truly believe that this magazine will capture my students and help them reach a new level of curiosity and engagement with their changing world, while they debate, process, analyze, synthesize, and write their way into the highest levels of literacy and critical thinking. Then, my students will be ready for college and career.
