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

The first amendment protects freedom of the press but it doesn't ensure that young people will understand exactly what is being protected and why. Journalism is a pillar that holds up our society and protects it from being undermined and taken advantage of. In this day and age of fake news, social media, and 24-hour news, being up-to-date, honest and ethical is paramount.

I have the title of teacher but I consider myself more of an adviser with the goal of letting them take ownership of informing not only themselves but their peers as well.

Helping them understand that what they do in my classroom will not only help themselves but everyone that comes across their work.

I teach at a lower-middle-income school that has a high proportion of foreign-born students, with 58 percent of students born outside of the United States. Over 80 percent of the student population is deemed to be economically disadvantaged.

That being said, I've had students in the last couple of years win Silver Knight awards for Journalism and Digital Media. I've had editors go on to prestigious universities such as Harvard and Brown.

We try our best to make do with what little we have. The wireless microphone, light set, and tripod can enhance our production quality. There is always room for improvement.
