One of my primary goals as an English teacher is to convince my students that writing is one of the most powerful tools that one can have. Through writing, one has the ability to communicate, share, think, process, inspire, and affect change in the world around us. Through writing, we have the power to secure our own destinies and to impact the destinies of others. I believe this begins with the daily practice of writing.
This project will allow me to create, print, and bind writing journals for my high school students so that they may practice their writing skills each day in and out of my classroom. Included on my list are a Rayson PD-1501 Coil Binding Machine which can be reused for several projects in the future like publishing student work in class; Rayson PP Matte Plastic Covers in black and Rayson Twill Plastic Covers in clear for durable front and back covers for the students' journals; Rayson Spiral Binding Rings; and Hand Held Coil Crimpers which I will use to bind the journals. The end product will be a bound writing journal that my 150 students will use for the entire year. The journal will include a page to personalize, class information, and a year's worth of rigorous and relevant writing prompts. I would like this journal to be the cornerstone of my senior English class.
