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

My school is a diverse Title I school in South Florida, where many of my students are recently arrived immigrants to the United States. Due to linguistic challenges, some of my students feel isolated within our school community, and have difficulty expressing themselves. Visual arts helps give these, and indeed all, students a voice, where language is no boundary. The green screen background and ring light requested in this project give students the tools to engage in compelling visual storytelling, an activity which connects across languages and cultures.

Unlock the unlimited potential of visual communication with the flick of a switch and the wave of a wand—our green screen awaits!

This isn't just about taking and editing pictures; it's about shaping dreamers into creators and thinkers into innovators. The portable green screen will open a world of imaginative settings for our students to explore, while the ring light will ensure that their visions are seen in the best light possible—literally. The newsletters, photographs, student news programs, and websites that our students build utilizing these tools will enhance our school spirit and continue to foster a culture of inclusivity at our school site. Along the way, while expressing themselves, my students will also acquire the vital 21st century skills of digital design and photo editing, preparing them for the increasingly digital world we live in today!
