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

Students will be using the classroom library to complete an independent reading project that involves determining the parts of speech and literary devices displayed on the posters.

In a chosen book, they will use a literary device to help determine the theme of the novel and write about it in a literary essay.

They will use the organizers to help manage their resources independently, and the hooks and straps will help put the posters up. The rug will create a cozy atmosphere in the classroom which will create a relaxing ambience for different types of learners. The goal is to encourage independent reading and critical thought.
