Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

Help bind the minds of our struggling writers with motivating them through publishing their final pieces professionally and with pride. I am a 7th grade Special Education teacher in an urban, low income and prominently Hispanic school.

Type it, print it and staple it. This is the ritual final step of the writing process. Not so glamorous or worthy of a gesture for a piece Jose has been working on for weeks. I want to give my students professional choices to create something they are proud of making that final step with. Not only is there a lack of choices, but a lack of motivation to write. I hope that this will create a sence of pride and accomplishment when their writing is treated professionally.

With professional binding and publishing options, my students will see their writing pieces as something respected and proud to complete and display. In return their pride will generate motivation for writing well and self-accomplishment.

You will make it possible for my struggling students to find pride in their writing. Thank you.
