Our inner-city school is a Title I school, which is a low-income school. Over 66% of students commute because they live outside of the school's community; most students are bussed in from various other parts of the city. B.M.M.H.S. attracts many culturally and linguistically diverse students. In one of my ninth grade classes alone, out of the thirty-four students in that class, only two do not speak a language other than English at home. Most students speak Spanish, and a few others speak Tagalog, Cantonese or Bengali. Additionally, because most of my ninth grade students are English Language Learners, most are also struggling or reluctant readers and writers. My ultimate goal is to help my students become life-long readers, but I need help tantalizing their hunger for reading. Although they understand that reading is important, I need help getting to them to WANT to read as opposed to perpetuating the idea that they HAVE to read.
