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

I teach at an all-girls public school in NYC. We are a Title 1 school, which means the majority of the students are from low-income families. The majority of my students are women of color, Muslim and/or immigrants. They are terrific young women. They are passionate about learning, kind and strong. Last year when I had to take a leave of absence for health reasons they reached out to me with jokes and stories. They made care packages to be sent home to me. They are exceptional.

These young women are passionate about learning and using their voices.

They are voracious learners. While they love to learn, sometimes history seems separate and foreign to them. This course will inspire them to think outside the box about the history of the United States.

My Project

This year I will teach a new elective history course called Superheroes, History and Justice. Students will study the origin stories of superheroes such as Superman (the Great Depression and immigration), Wonder Woman (feminist icon or gender stereotype?) and Black Panther (the legacy of colonialism, racism, and Afrofuturism). Students will also independently read Ms. Marvel or Miss America (America Chavez) to explore the superhero genre. Their final project will be to develop their own superhero to represent a social justice movement or event in America's history that they are passionate about.

My project attempts to grab my students attention unconventionally.

The students I teach are all young women of color. Most are daughters of immigrants and many are Muslim. They will be able to see themselves in these characters and better connect with issues that span across the twentieth century in the United States. This project will also open their minds to career paths they may not normally take. Women in the Comic Book industry are beginning to make strides, but there is still a long way to go. Perhaps one of my students will be inspired to do something they never imagined.
