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

I am very excited to begin our new novel study using Harlem Summer by Walter Dean Myer for my 7th grade English Language Art students. Our school is located in East Harlem and many of the landmarks and prominent leaders during the Harlem Renaissance are walking distance from my students’ homes. Sadly, this piece of history is not well known or commonly taught in school.

These selected books will enrich our novel study and our classroom building background knowledge for our novel and piquing my students' interests to learn more.

All these books have been chosen with my students in mind. These are beautiful picture books that are not intimidating to read and yet they are rich with history and descriptions of the arts.

As we read the novel, Harlem Summer, non fictional characters, events and places are interwoven with fictional characters and stories in Harlem. The students will be able to differentiate those characters, events and places. I am very excited to teach this new unit and look forward to adding these books as resources to my curriculum.

Thank you so much for supporting my students and my classroom.
