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

I love how my students are curious, creative, and eager to make meaningful connections when given the right tools. They thrive when they can engage deeply with texts, and their insights during discussions never fail to impress me. This project will provide them with the resources they need to excel in literary analysis and annotation.

The sticky notes and tabs will allow students to actively mark key passages, themes, and character developments in The Girl from the Well and The Great Gatsby.

Color-coded construction paper will help them visually organize group analysis and presentations. Mini composition books will serve as personal annotation journals, where they can reflect on their reading and draft analysis. The file organizer will keep their work neat and accessible, while the rolling cart will ensure all supplies are easily shared and stored, saving time and keeping our classroom running smoothly.

My goal is for students to build their annotation and literary analysis skills, preparing them to write thoughtful, evidence-based essays. These tools will empower them to engage with complex texts, collaborate effectively, and develop confidence in their analytical abilities.

What makes my students special is their creativity and enthusiasm. They make incredible connections between texts and their own lives, and they inspire me every day with their unique perspectives. With these resources, they’ll have the tools to unlock their full potential and take their learning to the next level. Thank you for supporting their growth!
