My Project

"Their Eyes Were Watching God" is a classic piece of literature that will allow us to connect to other literature this year through themes, characters, and complexity. Their Eyes Were Watching God is frequently referenced on the AP Literature exam as part of selected passages for response, as well as for suggested novels to reference when answering one of the essays. From 1970-2023, "Their Eyes Were Watching God" was cited 19 times on the AP Literature exam. Incorporating this book into the curriculum will further support my students as they work hard this year to learn the skills and concepts that will help them succeed on the exam and in college.

My students are using color-coded annotation, in order to have separate highlighting colors for structure, narration, character, setting, figurative language, and literary argumentation.

With full funding of this project, students will be able to use their own copy of the book to annotate while reading. This will further support their skills in preparation not only for the exam, but also for their continued education after high school.

Please consider helping my students! Thank you so much!
