My Project

I need a document camera desperately.

Writing essays in the 9th and 10th grades can be intimidating.

I teach terms such as "thesis" and "evidence," but these can be very abstract to my young students. This document camera will allow me to show exemplary writing from my students--on the spot. If I notice a strong piece of work--a unique, nuanced thesis, a strong piece of textual evidence, or a sophisticated bout of analysis--I can easily ask the student if I can use their example by plopping it under my document camera and allowing their peers to admire (and learn from) their greatness.

Additionally, my laminator is almost completely dead. I use a lot of pictures in my lessons and do a lot of activities that require "pieces." For instance, one activity might require fake money--or another for students to analyze a political cartoon. Because I want to reduce paper use and keep my materials from year to year, I would like to make one set of copies and laminate them to reuse with all of my classes. A laminator is also helpful to create temporary worksheets that my students can fill out with an erasable marker.
