Critiquing 3 Donors Choose Projects

The first project was one that focused on an area the teacher wants in the room where children can feel comfortable and relax in. I personally think and area like this is necessary in every classroom that children are spending majority of their days in no matter how old they are. The set up of the page for this project was done pretty well in my opinion. They did a good job of making a title that made people want to click on it that included the words "comfort and joy" and in the title work and play were also mentioned so I feel like people are pretty on board from the start. This page has a good summary and detailed description of how they intend to use this area and why she sees it as necessary in her classroom. This teacher did a good job explain how her children will benefit from this area in the room and it is clear that she cares for her students in the way she's talking about them.

The second project I looked at was a request for 15 of the same book for one classroom. At glance I think that I was kind of bored and disinterested in this project, and don't think the teacher did a good job of the advertising aspect of this page. However, when I clicked on the page to learn more about why they needed this specific book- the teacher did a wonderful job of quoting students and expressing why this book is important for their book club to read. 

The last project was a request for special desks for a few students in her classroom. I thought this teacher did a lot right on this post, I am not going to lie. She divided this page into two sections which the first intro paragraph was started out with a J.K. Rowling quote and she helps us understand the environment of the school she is in so we can relate with her more. The second half of the page talks about the project and the specific children that she think these desks would help and why. I think this was my favorite page that I viewed and I wanted to donate myself! I think its such a cool concept and that she truly made a good page.
