My Project

11th and 12th graders in our diverse NYC public school are taking a deep dive into Indigenous Peoples' history this year. Students are getting college ready by developing their research and writing skills throughout the semester. At the end of the semester, each student will write a research paper on a topic of their own choosing.

The classroom library that I will build with your help will allow students to conduct research by having access to the works of important Indigenous writers of our time.

Thank you so much for your support.

Ms. Jody
Grades 9-12
