My Project

Please help me provide highlighters and writing pens for my students. My students write everyday for both enjoyment and academics. During our academic writing, my students highlight their writing in specific colors. This shows evidence and proof of specific parts for writing. For examples, they might highlight their restating of the question in blue and their text evidence in yellow. This not only organizes their writing but also challenges students to dig deeper to have the academic parts of writing they need. When students are writing for enjoyment, I would like to provide a special writing pen.

As simple as a pen is, it magically changes my young students into excited authors.

They feel fancy during this writing time and it encourages them to write. Thank you for supporting my students.
