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 students are terrified of Shakespeare! I teach Language Arts at a Low-SES high school in Arizona. 10% of our students are English language learners.

I want my students to understand not only the language of Shakespeare, but also the message. Reading and discussing Julius Caesar last year was one of the most rewarding experiences for both my students and myself. Unfortunately, I realized during the unit that my students were in need of more ways to understand the language. The "No Fear" translation aided not only my struggling students, but also my higher level ones.

Having 33 copies (a class set) of No Fear Julius Caesar books will allow me to push my students further in their understanding of Shakespeare's language and relational commentary.

Many students in my classes have never finished a book, let alone a Shakespeare play. Your help will ensure that every student in my classroom will not only read, but also comprehend one of the most amazing works of Shakespeare.
