Dear+Mr.+Rosenwald+Reinforcing+Activity

Activity: After reading the book as a class, I would ask the students about what we could improve upon in our classroom. What could we add that would make our classroom more fun? The kids would have plenty of ideas, and I would pick one, and then talk about how we could organize fund-raisers in order to get this item. I would then look at how lucky we are to have the classroom that we do have, and how African American children during the time period of the book were at a major disadvantage and how their classrooms were really bare, especially compared to our classroom.
