Project Description

Students in ENG 215 visit a class of first graders in School 44 with a revised fairy tale that they wrote. They read to the children, ask the children for feedback in the form of drawings and responses to literary questions, and then we print and spiral-bind the books, return to the school and donate the handmade books to the class.
