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.

Mandela High School is a small learning community in East Oakland, California. Our college prep high school is committed to preparing our students for success during and beyond high school. We would like to have a digital projector available to our junior and senior English classes. With a projector at our disposal, our classes would benefit from a number or lessons-particularly, internet research. Additionally, the benefits of this donation would benefit every junior and senior English class for the next several years (at the least). With a projector connected to the class computer, I would be able to model for my students how they can conduct internet research for their research papers (a graduation requirement at our high school). They would be able to differentiate between reliable and unreliable sources, one of the greatest obstacles thus far to writing an effective research paper. Having a digital projector in the classroom makes lessons more relevant and immediate. With a projector at our disposal, the research strategy can be modeled before the entire class. This approach would also involve the input of several students at the same time. Students who are unfamiliar with internet research will depend heavily upon the in-class model for seeking out their own sources. Because the paper is individualized, class models must be effective and relevant for students who Our school requires graduating seniors to produce a five to seven page research paper using multiple sources. This paper is crucial for several reasons: First, we believe that students today should be able to conduct effective internet research. Being able to identify the difference between a reliable and unreliable source of information on the internet is critically important as our students' lives are continually being shaped by the information they receive. The practice of critical thinking is well supported through a research paper that necessitates discrimination of information. Second, we recognize that the ability to conduct effective research is a highly desirable task for any college bound student. We expect that through this process of research and writing, our students will be more effective in higher learning institutions. Lastly, a five to seven page paper is a major task for students who are not accustomed to writing such a lengthy assignment. We believe the length provides students with a true sense of accomplishment when they complete the assignment. Consequently, our staff hopes that this will help bolster our students' confidence, and help them see themselves as capable students and workers.
