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.

I am currently teaching summer school to students who failed their English sophomore class either in the fall or in the spring of the 2003/2004 academic year. Our first required reading this summer is William Shakespeare's MACBETH, which we are getting close to finishing. Surprisingly, many of the students have found a great interest in the play MACBETH, and have been able to grasp it much easier than expected. I am surprised because this class if filled with students who did not pass their English class for whatever reason; MACBETH has grasped their interest enough to participate avidly in class discussions, to do their homework assignments on a daily basis, and to really be able to relate the issues and themes brought up in MACBETH to everyday occurrences. Traditionally, MACBETH is studied in 12th grade English classes; for the first time, sophomore students--summer school sophomore students--are expected to read MACBETH. I am excited by their enthusiasm, and because they are summer school students, I would like to encourage them to see the value of education, the importance of working hard in school, and the rewards that come with diligence and dedication if they continue to succeed they way they are doing so now. Of course, because they are summer school classes, there are still many students who are still exhibiting the same patterns that have caused them to be in their present situation, but I am focusing on those who are noticeably turning a new leaf. There is a production of MACBETH at the Classical Theatre of Harlem, and the company is willing to give us a reduced price of $12 (original is $19) per ticket AND arrange for the actors to speak to the students afterwards. The opportunity to see a production of the play they have found such great interest in, coupled with actually speaking to the actors, are excellent chances for my summer school students to see their experience in summer school not as a place for failures, but as a new beginning in their careers as students. To encourage them to find interest in learning can hopefully encourage them to stay out of summer school in the future, and to always aim for success in the rest of their classes for as long as they are students. As an added note to why I seriously want to take my students to see MACBETH, it would be great for my students (who are of Latino and African-American backgrounds) to see people of color prominently reenacting a 400-year-old play. I feel that my students being able to identify ethnically to the actors can only further encourage them to aim for success academically.
