My Students

Our urban district has just added French as a second option for the middle schoolers at our school. We are the first of 7 middle schools in the district to offer this option. Many of my students are native Spanish speakers looking to expand their horizons. They are eager learners but need extra supports for building their speaking, listening, reading and writing skills given their various backgrounds and abilities. They deserve a well-rounded opportunity for language learning in spite of limited funding for the subject.

My Project

My students are incredible 7th and 8th-grade students from a very diverse inner-city school. Our textbooks are about 20 years old so I try to add in as many authentic reading materials aside from our textbooks as possible. These reading materials will allow them to practice their interpretive and productive skills with materials that are current, diverse and relevant. Having this many subscriptions to the magazine will allow me to send some to remote students and also allow some of my 125 students to keep the magazine if they wish, extending the lessons beyond the classroom and class time!
