My Students

The majority - nearly 80%, of the students at my school, come from low-income homes and are dealing with some sort of trauma in their lives, yet they do not let that stifle their spirit. Many of my students see school as their safe space and desire an engaging education in a welcoming environment.

My students have such high hopes and aspirations for their future and I want to do everything in my power to help them achieve those dreams.

I constantly emphasize the importance of a good education and a solid understanding of the English content area in order to achieve those goals and dreams. Students in my class know that their outcome will reflect the work they put in and will hopefully carry this though to their life outside of school.

My Project

My current project includes two goals for my classroom and my students. The first involves the script for the play Anne Frank. Our unit on Holocaust literature always proves to be the most engaging for my students. To my surprise, fewer students each year are familiar with the Holocaust but quickly find themselves engaging with the concepts and relating to some of the hardships.

Most of my students face discrimination or some sort of injustice on a regular basis and, until studying the Holocaust, aren't aware of the other groups who have faced similar or worse situations.

It can sometimes be difficult to get them to engage with the curriculum or find new and creative ways to help them relate to the content, but I have never seen them engage the way they have with this unit.

Our required textbook offers a mere one-page sample of the play Anne Frank, and my students are always disappointed that we don't have more. In addition, a drama department amongst a student body with many artistic talents is greatly missed, opening the door for a wonderful opportunity in my English class. I would love to be able to offer my students the chance to engage with the text while showcasing their many other talents and working together to produce a wonderful play. (I am also seeking other versions of the story for students who are more visual learners.)
