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

I am a Reading and English teacher at a TITLE I school in East Las Vegas. Although the pandemic has been challenging for my students in and outside of the classroom they continue to demonstrate a tremendous amount of grit and overall passion for learning. The community where my school is located is among the most impacted by COVID-19. Many students struggled with attendance and did not read any books at home during distance learning. As a result, many students are struggling to complete independent reading assignments, and have a hard time comprehending text. They are quickly frustrated by challenging reading assignments and struggle with problem-solving.

My Project

Students will be tasked with creating images from the text they are reading and analyzing. This will help students comprehend the assigned text while simultaneously supporting their ability to imagine their reading. Once students have created their image they will label the image with properly cited quotes that support the creation of their image. Once complete, students will write a literary analysis about the use of figurative language in the text. When this assignment is complete, students will have the abilty to earn an instentive. This will motivate students to continue working on their reading pathways.
