I am requesting a variety of books for all the fifth grade students (95) at my school. Our amazing student population is 84% Hispanic with 79% on free and reduced lunches. “Minority enrollment is 90% of the student body, which is higher than the California state average of 76%.” (publicschoolreview.com) The culture of both the school and classrooms promotes high academic achievement and strong character. Our goal is to cultivate a desire for reading by providing a variety of texts where students can grow as readers. In order to develop higher levels of reading, there must be exposure and opportunities to analyze both fiction and non-fiction texts. These books provide this and also cover the different reading levels so that all students can be successful in building background knowledge on human rights, our first focus of the year. The resources will help them to understand human rights and how people respond when rights are threatened. It is important to have a collection of texts with multiple perspectives on the same topic in order to go deeper into that topic. By building up the background knowledge, the students ignite their own passion that drives their desire to dive deeper into the subject and effectively participate in collaborative discussions with diverse partners using original voices and expressing themselves clearly in speaking and writing. These books will provide an avenue for more student talk and less teacher talk where they take ownership and responsibility for learning.The book collection will connect to real-world issues and raise awareness of human rights issues in their own community as well as around the world so the students can contribute to a better world. A literacy rich environment will promote the importance of reading, speaking, and writing so all students can achieve above and beyond their perceived potential.
