Full text of the teacher-written requests accompanying all classroom projects. Data file: ~200MB zip, ~1GB CSV, ~300K records The heart of each teacher's classroom project request is their written request, including a project title, a free-form essay or series of paragraphs answering a series of questions, and a summary of the materials/resources requested. Originally, the site only accommodated a single free-form essay. Then we introduced more structure via series of questions. Eventually, the free-form essay was removed as an option. When possible, we've separated the essay into the four paragraphs that correspond to the series of questions.

_projectid _teacher_acctid title short_description: Summary description, typically authored by the (volunteer) project screener by copy-pasting excerpts from the teacher's essay or paragraph answers. need_statement: Summary of the materials/resources needed, eg. "My students need..." essay paragraph1 paragraph2 paragraph3 paragraph4  This work by DonorsChoose.org is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 3.0 Unported License (CC BY-NC 3.0).
