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 Students

Every student deserves the opportunity to be transported to another time and place through literature!

I teach a diverse and enthusiastic group of 8th graders.

They are eager to learn about literature and enjoy reading various genres of books. With the advances in technology, they are more likely to turn on the television than open a book. This year we have read novels that they truly enjoyed and were motivated to read.

My Project

I remember reading "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in the 8th grade and, to this day I remember the wonderful lessons and projects that my 8th grade Language Arts teacher shared with us. I aspire to do the same for my 8th graders. I want to show them the wonderful world of Shakespeare through one of his light-hearted and amusing comedies. Many students do not know the impact of Shakespeare on literature, this is my way of giving them some insight into the world of Shakespeare.

This project is important to me because I believe that all students should have an opportunity to read various works from Shakespeare.

This play is a fun and careful story that students of all ages can enjoy.
