Budge Narrative
The expenditures listed in Table I are necessary to help students obtain the goal of not

only completing their slam poem, but also in reaching the project’s overall goal of educating

students on the significance of stereotypes as it relates to social injustice. To explain, the chrome

books that double as a tablet are essential for students to engage in the digital aspect of the

project. This can range from the students posting to platforms such as PadLet, JamBoard,

Yellowdig, and Peardeck. Additionally, the Chromebook tablets are important for students

conducting critical research in understanding stereotypes and generating a definition.

Additionally, the miscellaneous items such as pencils, pens, highlighters, folders, and bins are

necessary for student’s involvement in the mini lessons within the larger project. This includes

highlighting instances of perspective and point-of-view, taking notes at their field trip to the

Community College, completing compare and contrast charts, and their overall day-to-day

activities. The key element here is the expenditures pertaining to the fieldtrip. Although the

students could just conduct their research with students on campus and develop their poems with

such information, this limits their field of view. Many students in the community are from very

similar backgrounds and therefore the interview pool may be limited if we do not extend our

research beyond the classroom. Allowing students to step into the shoes of perspectives different

than their own is essential to the comprehension of the content for students. By taking these field

trips, students not only develop a sense of community but are given a very first-hand realistic

account of point-of-view and its impact on stereotypes that the high school campus simply

cannot provide. This is also very necessary for the community to understand that these are issues

prevalent to their teens. Student involvement in political discussions, involvement, and action

may also see a spike following this project. Overall, these expenditures are all necessary to

produce the desired outcome of the project to enable students to understand stereotypes and

produce a type of language arts that speaks to the community with the power of spoken word.
