My Students

My students come from a rural community with high levels of poverty in our community but not much diversity.

My classroom serves as a place where students learn, collaborate, and have ample opportunities to get lost in a good story.

We are excited to learn about the world outside the walls of our classroom.

My Project

Eighth-grade students in my language arts classroom will be learning about WWII through the eyes of characters in historical fiction novels. Students will choose from a list of titles, looking for a way to make a connection to the past.

With these new books, my students will be able to choose from a variety of novels that will help them truly understand the magnitude of WWII .

Students will use these books to collaborate in small groups in class to identify themes, conflict, as well as other literary elements. At the end of the unit, they will create a project based on their reading.
