My Students

I have a wonderful group of resilient students. We are now learning online but hope to be back together soon. Our school is in the South Bronx of New York and my students had many challenges before 2020.

This year, their grace and resilience has inspired and amazed me.

They have found new ways to use technology in their learning and have rolled with all the changes. Most of all, they have been so engaged with the social justice movement. We have had great discussions and they have written some wonderful pieces about police brutality, poverty and racial justice. They give me hope for the future.

My Project

My class is continuing our study of civil disobedience and want to work with the book Malcolm X: A Graphic Biography. We have worked the graphic novel March by John Lewis. Working with a graphic novel was a great experience for our class. It allowed students of all different reading levels use the book to meet their learning needs. They are excited to study Malcolm X and compare and contrast his journey to that of John Lewis. It will be an important piece of our year long look at civil disobedience in relation to social justice.
