Being in a Title 1 school, I have students from lower middle-class families to students living in extreme poverty. While many of my students have adult responsibilities outside of school, they have a desire to learn and be successful. My English classroom is a place where they can improve their skills while sharing their personal experiences. I watch as students interact with one another and literature through discussions of real life issues. They have a lot to say and are eager to share their opinions but struggle when writing those thoughts out.
