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 Project

This novel-in-verse exposes students to a variety of narrative and poetic forms. Xiomara provides a voice for teens who feel misunderstood and embattled in their home lives. This classroom set will be used as a model text for students to experiment with writing and performing their own poetry, culminating in a class-wide poetry slam. Students will have the opportunity to find their own authentic writing voices, and to provide each other with the gift of hearing/being heard, which Xiomara finds in her high school poetry club. We will also analyze the authorial choices Acevedo makes and consider how those literary choices connect with broader themes.
