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

Now more than ever, with social media and other digital platforms, there's a great decline in the reading that students are engaging in. Reading is often more of a chore rather than a task of enjoyment. But it is crucial for students to understand the benefits and long-lasting impact of literature.

With the project that I've created, I'm hoping to provide my students with access to novels with relevant genres/topics/themes, represent a range of authors, but most importantly offer my students choice in what they read.

Students have access to texts that are often very outdated and are not always written by a diverse selection of authors and this is not the way to motivate students to read.

I will be teaching a diverse population of students that will be engaging in reading throughout the entire school year. With your support, students will be able to engage with texts such as The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo and Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie which are truly enriching texts that speak to our students and their lives.
