Just Mercy and the US Justice System

Help me give my students this important, informative, transformative book. Just Mercy is arguably one of the most important books in contemporary literature, and I hope to share it with my students.

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.

My Project

My students are eager to learn; their minds are open. Many of them have dealt with difficult realities, and I believe this book will empower them to not only take their own justice, but also to be a part of this larger movement that Stevenson has influenced. As a part of AP Language and Composition, we will embark on a unit that closely analyzes the issues within the US justice system, using this text as the backbone of our studies. The objectives are to analyze both Stevenson’s rhetoric as well as his arguments.
