My Project

I am a middle school teacher who is reaching out on the behalf of my students. I ask for your support for our middle school Foreign Media Club. We are eager to purchase essential items that will allow our students to engage with and learn about media from around the world. Your generous donation will help us create an environment where students can indulge in their artistic skills and strengthen their talents while they are still in school. This opportunity will enable them to hone their vision and artistic abilities, fostering confidence in their personal strengths.

In our art club, students will use resources requested such as sketchbooks, pens, and paint to explore their creativity through various art forms.

The learning outcome for this project is for students to create their own foreign media novel/comic book to be published. Additionally, comic books and learning materials will help them understand storytelling through visuals, improving their comprehension and creativity. The ultimate goal is to empower these students to express themselves artistically and build confidence in their abilities, fostering a sense of accomplishment and community within the club.
