My Project

I teach writing to a great group of students. One of the highlights of the school year is building our writing portfolios.

Students are so much more invested when they are able to publish their writing professionally.

I teach 3 groups of students so I will need 60 blank books with glue and Mod-Podge. The students will choose quotes to decorate their books, making it a special personalized portfolio that truly represents the student. Each student will then choose published writing pieces throughout the year to fill the pages of their book.

Thank you in advance for helping me to bring these materials to my students.
