This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My school is a PK-6th neighborhood school in Cincinnati. My school is a Title 1 school, with 100% of the students receiving free/reduced lunch.
My students encounter many challenges in and outside of school, but they are hardworking and full of joy!
My students love to learn about real people and put their hands on actual books.
John P. Parker has a Vision 2020 Global Environmental Literacy (GEL) plan that integrates five components: Global Citizenship, Environmental Literacy, Health and Wellness, Service Learning, and Digital Literacy. This project will add to their Global Citizenship learning.
My Project
We all can make a change in the world. I want my students to read the She Persisted series to see the world from another perspective. This series can help them learn about primary sources when completing research and see how others have expressed themselves.
I hope that this series will inspire my students to see themselves as World Changers.
I hope they learn from the leaders that star in this series, and after reading the series, they see the world a little differently.
In the end, maybe my students will be inspired to start their own Persisted stories.
More than half of students from low‑income households
