Let's Read about History!

My students need historical books that will help them learn about the Hitler and the Holocaust but also learn about Trujillo in their native Dominican Republic. There are also bookcases so student’s can have access to read them.

I am a 10th grade Global Studies teacher at a high school that serves students from high-need communities all over New York City. My student population consists of students that are newly immigrants and many students that have IEP’s. More than half of the students are reading well below their grade level.

Working in an inner city schools with constant budget cuts it is always the students that need the most support that loose out. This year it is even harder to get the supplies I need to support my students or even to insure that the classroom is a positive learning environment. With having many students who are below level, I find that the high school textbooks are too hard for them. Many cases students get discouraged when they are faced with hard level texts that they do not connect to.

The resources I have asked for will help my students improve their reading skills by giving them texts that are more appropriate for their skills. The texts will also engage them in learning about history by allowing them to see themselves in historical content.

Your help will make it possible for many students to have a better chance of passing the New York State Global Regents in June. Not only will their reading skills improve but it will make learning about history more relevant to their lives.
