What did they do well?
Reading through the donor pages, I felt that each teach did many things that helped raise more funds for the classroom. They each gave a descriptive reason as to why they need the material in their classroom and told what it was going to be used for. They each also described their students and showed how much they cared for each one. As a reader, I felt that the teachers wanted nothing but to make their students succeed in their classroom.  

What they did not do well?

Reading through the pages it was hard for me to find any negatives. However, the only thing that I felt that could use some improvement is the teachers giving more details about the different activities they will be using the material for. This will help improve the chances of people donating money by knowing what exactly their money will be used for.  

My 5 Tips.
1.Have a catchy title- this will help people want to seek your page further to gather more information as to what you are trying to raise money for.
2. Describe your classroom and students – Adding what your classroom environment is and what your students are like will allow readers to get an insight of how you and your students interact throughout the day.
3. Give a break down to where the money is being spent – This will help donors know exactly what their money will be spent on and not feel as if it will be wasted on other things.
4. Have a place for comments – This will allow people to go onto your page and write a positive comment about you and your classroom. Plus, it will allow you to publicly thank your donors and make them feel appreciated.
5. Give examples to what the material will be used for – Giving examples will help the donors understand why exactly you need the money and how you will be using the materials in your classroom.
