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 Students

My students are new arrivals to the USA and have to master Common Core English quickly to graduate. Giving visuals/audio is so helpful! They can watch MLK Jr. deliver a speech, see a scene from Othello, watch a Ted Talk... my current computer is 10 years old and dies often and I have no speakers. Help!

My students are mainly Dominican; all are native Spanish speakers.

Some come with very little formal education and have a lot of work to do to master content in which they are years behind. They are very hard workers and challenge themselves to achieve and be the first people in their families to go to college. We want to support that goal and go to great lengths to do so. They are wonderful kids and have interesting insights and perspectives and it is truly a joy to watch them learn to love Siddhartha, to engage in New York Times articles and to make connections between classes - last year the physics teacher and myself did a combined argumentative unit on concussions in the NFL. It was incredible, and thank goodness she had a working computer to demonstrate non-Newtonian fluids!

My Project

We are a college-prep school, working with students who do not always come with a formal education background. We believe in their ability to succeed; we know they can think and reason, but the language is a barrier that must be overcome. Writing especially is a challenge, and the demands of the English Regents is a barrier we must get them over, without killing the joy of language and reading. All the students benefit from a visual and aural aid, especially since what we would consider common cultural touchstones, or even geographical knowledge, is often lacking. Having a working computer and speakers would do wonders for this, as I could quickly and easily show a clip from history or a photo from the Dust Bowl to orient them to the reading.

I will improve my classroom enormously.

Just this week I spent hours and went through three computers, two broken TVs, two faulty cords and two sets of broken speakers to finally get one Ted Talk clip to work, which we could barely hear. It was exhausting. Next semester I'm focusing on leadership and rhetoric; I want them to analyze the spoken work in presidential debates; when we do our unit on New York, I want to show clips from Gastby and images from the Jazz Age; and yes, non-Newtonian fluids!
