My Project

My students are some of the most resilient human beings I have ever met. Each and every one has had to overcome huge obstacles at a very young age, yet they come in every morning eager to learn something new.

In my English/Lit class I try to read novels that open up the discussions about real historical events.

Through the characters in this novel they will experience life in the segregated south in the 1960s. Using the Teacher Pay Teacher gift card I will be able to tie in a History lesson that they will remember forever.
