My Students

My students' lives are sometimes defined by the 4 walls of my classrooms and their homes. They need to read books to understand and explore the world around them.

My students live in Colorado and attend a school where 80% of our students qualify for free and reduced lunch.

My AVID students will be first generation college students; the first in their families to hopefully break out of poverty and get an education their parents only dreamed about. Many of these students look to school as their safe place and the place where they can question and research.

My Project

My students read The Diary of Anne Frank as part of their literacy curriculum, but I would like to supplement their learning with another book, another book that features a teenager experiencing something my students cannot imagine. The book I chose is Night by Elie Wiesel, a book that won the Nobel Prize and is a book that is not traditionally taught to 8th graders.

I am hoping my students learn about tolerance and the power of survival and hopefully how to read critically and question history so that something like this never happens again.
