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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Unfortunately, English is not a favorite subject amongst many students; therefore, it is a matter of selecting texts that are more modern and something that they can wholeheartedly relate to. The Freedom Writer's text is one of eminence for various reasons and one that my students can identify with, simply as individuals, connect with the culture of the characters, and input themselves into the environments. This text and unit will make students more engaged and enthused to learn, overall, improving and enhancing their writing and reading comprehension skills when testing.
