Help Mrs. Hardwick-Ivey

I teach juniors and seniors at a public career-centered school. I sometimes have a difficult time getting students interested in reading world literature. For some reason, they’re just not that into Tolstoy, Pushkin, and Hugo. I’ve discovered, however, that when I use picture books to introduce the new units, the students are more interested in reading the assigned texts. Recently, students fell in love with “The Three Questions”, which is a retelling of one of Tolstoy’s stories. Based on my success with that borrowed book, I am hoping my proposal will be funded so that I can receive my own copy of that book and others to hook my students in future lessons.
