About the Raffle
All proceeds from the raffle will go towards Cooper Landing Youth Group’s effort to raise funds for the Harry Potter Reading Club to travel to Orlando, Florida to visit Harry Potter World at Universal Studios. The group has been reading the books together, page by page, for the past three years and will be completing the seven-book series this spring.
Teacher's Note
The purpose of the field trip to Universal Studios- Harry Potter World is to commemorate the grand finale of our Harry Potter Reading Group. As part of a small school, students had the unique opportunity to read the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling consecutively every year. Three years ago, I put together a thematic reading unit to get students excited about reading. It worked! I decorated the classroom to fit the storyline and created themed activities for student learning.
Some students found reading particularly challenging and disliked the idea of picking up a book. However, after participating in the reading group they now enjoy reading and excitedly participate in Battle of the Books. Parents have reported that their children now request to go to the library to check out books and will read without being asked. Some have even gone as far as to volunteer at the library.
The students in the group look forward to our reading group every year. This year we will be reading the 6th and 7th book and completing the series. This class trip will be a rite of passage for students in the 8th grade.

Your raffle ticket purchase will help cover the cost for a student to travel to Orlando, Florida. The funds will be used to help offset the cost of transportation, lodging, meals, and park entry fees for those students who are in need a financial assistance. Some students have limited travel experience outside of the state and have never been to a theme park. This will be a first-of-a-lifetime experience for them.
Educational Outcome
Thank you for supporting the middle and high school students of Cooper Landing and their goal of traveling to Harry Potter World.
Going to Harry Potter World will enable the students to experience firsthand the stories they have been reading. They will use their knowledge of the books to investigate the accuracy of the Harry Potter World and determine if the theme park has stayed true to the books. Students will study the elements of storytelling and the key components that bring a story to life- narrative arc, setting, character development, plot development, perspective, conflict, and theme.
As the preamble to visiting Universal Studios, students will research one aspect of Harry Potter World and find out how/why it was constructed. They will write a research paper and present it to the class. On their trip to Harry Potter World, students will ground truth their research and analyze how narrative stories are brought to life. When students return to school, they will then use their new knowledge to write their own narrative story and construct a model of how they would turn their story into a theme park attraction. Students will present their story and model at the community’s annual Written and Illustrated event.
