Original Grant Overview
Goal
To increase students' enthusiasm for reading biographies and learning about famous people from history.
What will be done with my students
Students will read the high interest "Who was" or "Who is" biographies
Students will have an opportunity to publish a report or develop a book trailer to be shared with other students who may be interested in reading about that person. Book trailers can be connected to each title via a QR code.
Benefits to my students
This school year I am assigned to two different school libraries, Lavern Gaynor Elementary and Herbert Cambridge Elementary. I am requesting titles for the library at both schools.
These biographies are very popular. The combination of this set of books and the unique way of presenting what they have learned will create a positive and memorable learning experience for students.
This type of biography also helps students to build their sustained reading skills.
Budget Narrative
This amount will allow me to purchase 20 different paperback titles from Barnes and Noble. These books can be used for multiple years.
