My Students

This is a nest class that supports general education students and students who have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The general education students are selected to model social and emotional behavior and this is an integrated co-teaching class with two teachers.

Students with ASD receive Social Development Intervention (aka Social Club) to work on social skills.

Most of these students are more interested in nonfiction and generally choose nonfiction books, which are limited. Our school itself is nearing the completion of our accreditation of International Baccalaureate (IB) status. The school has a popular after-school arts program including violin, cello, dance, drama, art, and comic book drawing clubs. Our school also has a dedicated after-school sports department including basketball, soccer, fencing, yoga, fitness and a "girls on the run" club.

My Project

This selection of books was carefully chosen so my students can access the different topics of the American Revolution at a variety of levels and difficulties. Our class gets divided into research groups and they choose the topic they are interested in. These books will give my students more opportunities to delve into the world of the American Revolution.

The Boston Tea Party, The Boston Massacre, Paul Revere's ride are some of the topics my students can choose from and they need more books to continue their research in school and at home.

These topics are interesting and from a variety of publishing companies and authors and genres, such as biographies, expository texts, and historical fiction to show them the different angles and perspectives from this time period. Our students need this in order to succeed and will help them learn how to read order to learn new information.
