Help me give my students a life long love for reading current affairs.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Scott's classroom raised $370
This project is fully funded
My Students
My students live in an urban area in New York City. My students attend a Title I School where all meals are provided for each student. The students are enthusiastic about learning and are culturally aware. The students are bursting with talent- from debate to art to dance- the students are all unique in their own way.
I use reading to cultivate a love for reading and activate passionate discussions about the content.
My Project
Each student will be read about current affairs and generate a project about one of the topics. The students will develop their knowledge around the topic through independent reading and discussion. The students will generate a project of their choice around one of the topics which will involve further research.
The magazines will support critical thinking and classroom discussion.
The magazines will deepen students' knowledge on current affairs and further activate their social awareness to encourage participation in social activism. The project will reflect their commitment to social awareness and action.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
