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

My students genuinely enjoy learning through inquiry. They answer and develop challenging questions that require critical thinking, empathy, and a growth mindset. My students are especially eager to engage in such problem-solving throughout their reading. They use strategies for reading that help them continue their passion for reading and use their understanding of texts for a deeper understanding of other subjects. They learn about their strengths and weaknesses as learners through text, character, plot, and theme analysis. They also collaborate in Socratic seminar discussions to share their understanding of text and media and propose questions to each other that enrich the classroom's learning experience. This group of learners also loves assessing their knowledge to develop agency in their learning. They are always eager for new learning opportunities!

My Project

Having a class set of the book Holes will allow students to better engage in analyzing the text's characters, plot, and themes. Students will be able to put to practice their annotating techniques.

As they read this book, students will engage in individual, shared, and group reading.

They will do an array of lessons to better understand the text.

Students will also bring their text to their teacher-led and Socratic seminar discussions to further classroom understanding of concepts. In addition, students will be able to quote and reference the book easily by having their physical copy!
