As a teacher writing a grant for your classroom, here is the information for your grant application for a rotating bookshelf.

Based on the uploaded image (which I will assume contains goals from the Friendswood ISD Education Foundation, or a similar FISD Education Foundation), I will select the goal that best aligns with a rotating bookshelf designed to promote student choice and literacy.

How will this grant support or enhance authentic learning experiences in FISD?
This grant will enhance authentic learning by fostering student choice and promoting diverse literacy practices. A rotating bookshelf will display books face-out, making covers and titles highly visible and easily accessible. This setup replicates a bookstore or public library display, empowering students to:

Make independent choices for pleasure reading and research, a key skill for lifelong learning.

Easily find new and diverse genres and topics, encouraging them to explore texts that connect to their personal interests and real-world issues.

Engage in book recommendations and collaboration by being able to clearly see and discuss the books currently in rotation.
