The first Donors Choose application was a little lacking in detail. The teacher is asking for VERSATILES, but she doesn't explain what they are exactly or how they can be used for learning. It just says that they would help her classroom. I think to improve the page, she should include more about the thing she is asking for. I do like how she talks about her students. She writes how smart they are, and how she wants to help them with Donors Choose. She also mentions the diversity of her classroom, which I think is smart.
I thought that the second Donors Choose application was really great! It starts out by talking about the size of the school, and how many students that the project would help. Since the project is asking for a class set of dictionary, they make sure to point out that it would help students in the whole school, not just their own classroom. They also focus on the demographics of the student body, in this case it's 70% ELLs, which would really benefit from dictionaries.
The final Donors Choose application was also good, but not as good as the second one. It focused on the students and what kind of learners they are. It also talks about how they struggle in the classroom, yet have a passion to learn. I liked this part of the application. It really focuses on what is important to the teacher- her students. The teacher also makes good reasons for what she asks for. She explains her project and why it is important. I think that she should also include why it would be good for the school as a whole, and not just her own class!
