My Project

These books all address topics of oppression, injustice and perseverance. All of these topics are crucial for students to read in order to properly understand the history of our world. These books also encourage students to continue to work hard even when the going gets tough.

If we want a better future, we need to discuss or read topics of perseverance, oppression and injustice with our students.

My goals for this project is to challenge my students' perspectives and encourage a deeper level of thinking encouraged by these books. Help me make our future better by investing in our students!
