Celebrating 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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
My students attend a public, magnet school and many come from a low-income section of Philadelphia. The demographics of our school are roughly thirty-eight percent Asian, nineteen percent African American, twenty-eight percent Caucasian and six percent Other.
Despite the disadvantages at hand that many of our students face, they love to dig deeper into important and challenging literature!
My Project
The theme for English II is Social Justice. The novels, plays, poetry, stories, essays, and articles we will read, will explore how, throughout history, various socio-cultural groups have experienced injustice and continue to do so individually, in groups, at the hands of governments, and by accident. We will read from various cultural perspectives and respond in various modes, enabling you to appreciate the diverse voices and experiences of our global communities. The subject matter is provocative, so be prepared for some unsettling scenarios. However, we will also find that hardship leads to courage, determination, and heroic acts of achievement. The question is, how do these injustices change people, and how can we, as educated readers, change the world at large?
By funding this project, you will help provide my English students with additional copies of "Night" and "Julius Caesar" to enhance student learning and inquiry.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
