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.

My Project

We are almost approaching the end of the school year. I would like my students to create their own books using a book binding machine. I included card stock papers, bindings, clear covers, and the machine itself to this project.

My seventh graders love writing their own stories.

This project will allow them to create their own books that they can share with their families and friends. They will be able to keep the book they make at the end of the school year. This book making process will lead to positive memories they will cherish forever at the end of their seventh grade in English Language Arts class.
