My Project

The novels and resources I'm requesting will make history come alive for my students. These materials will provide them with engaging narratives and diverse perspectives, allowing them to see history as a dynamic and relatable subject. Students will develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for the past by connecting historical events to real-life stories.

My goals for this project are to inspire students to see themselves as active participants in history and empower them to understand their potential to effect change in the world.

By exposing them to historical contexts and the impact of individual actions, I want to foster critical thinking, empathy, and a sense of responsibility in my students.

My students are incredibly special because they bring unique perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences to the classroom. They are curious, eager to learn, and passionate about making a difference. By providing these resources, I aim to nurture their potential and help them realize how they can contribute positively to society. Their diverse voices and ideas make our learning community vibrant and impactful.

Grades 6-8
