My Students

Books. Students “hate” them, but do they really? Of course not! Our High School is one of the largest schools in our County. It is known for excelling in sports and academics, but how can we continue if our primary tools for teaching are falling apart? Our students deserve better.

My classroom consists of roughly 30 students per class.

These students come from many different socioeconomic classes, different races, some ESL, and a majority on free and reduced lunch. These students have one thing in common - their need for knowledge. Investing in novels for the classroom will help quench the thirst of ALL students that take English classes at our school and help further their education.

My Project

Our High School is in desperate need of novels for students. Our copies of The Great Gatsby and Pride and Prejudice are falling to pieces. A conservative estimate on the age of our copies of these novels is more than 15 years old.

I am asking for donations that will directly go to purchasing 35 copies of Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, and Larsen’s Passing.

The Great Gatsby is a literary classic that can serve teaching the American Dream to students. Pride and Prejudice, also a literary classic, looks at gender roles and societal norms in the 1800s, which can be contrasted with expectations today. Finally, Passing is a novel that explores African-Americans’ troubling experiences with segregation in the 1920s. This particular novel is short and has accessible language for ELL students.

Our books may be on their last legs, but they have served our High School since the late 1990s-early 2000s. If these new books serve their purpose like their predecessors, then they will reach thousands of kids for many years to come.
