Help me give my students an opportunity to develop a love of reading. We read short stories instead of novels. I would love to incorporate novels into our classroom to give the same results, just a different route.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
The curriculum that we use in our classroom deals with a lot of short stories. While the curriculum is awesome, our scholars only get a small piece of a story instead of the entire story itself.
