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 Students

The majority of my students live in poverty. Many of them yearn for the stability of school, and look forward to the clean, organized structure that an academic environment provides. In our ELA class, we will be exploring both the individual students' worlds, as well as reaching out into the world beyond us.

English class is an opportunity for many students to reflect and explore, all in a structured and safe environment.

I hope to provide the students with as many resources as possible this year, and thank you in advance for your help!

My Project

Students will have access to personalized levels of text by using headphones. Students attempting to attain a higher reading level benefit from hearing some difficult texts read aloud. Since all students are not at the same level, they need to be able to listen to their own text.

Students will be accessing different types of "texts" throughout this year, including documentaries and short films.

While students often watch as a group, there are times when they may want to access these texts on their own without disrupting watch other. They may even create texts of their own! Thank you for your support!
