Celebrating 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.
A typical day in my classroom revolves around literature. Students are exposed to a rich, novel-based curriculum. We are in dire need of 95 copies of To Kill a Mockingbird. My students work to answer higher order thinking questions centered around each novel I teach.
My students are from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
They are eager to read novels of interest to them. Our school provides our students with a rich educational foundation and prepares them for the challenges of high school, by having them grapple with novels. Novels that are of interest to students serve to teach psychology, geography, history, and English literacy, all in one additionally entertaining package. By providing students access to literature that I myself enjoy, I foster in each student a love of reading. In addition, these novels encourage students to grapple with themes that evoke passionate debates. My students can relate or see themselves in the characters they meet. Through the novel To Kill A Mockingbird, my students will explore various themes such as race, justice and judgment, the innocence of youth, etc. They will think about their own culture and learn about the harm of stereotypes.
My Project
My students need 95 copies of To Kill A Mockingbird, along with the related study guide materials needed for the novel study. Students will each receive a copy of the novel. Upon doing so, students will do a few per-reading activities and we will begin to read and discuss the novel as a class. After obtaining the materials needed, my students will begin to compose a reflective journal to demonstrate an understanding of the characters, and their motivations. They will then use this understanding to develop their understanding of the themes in the novel. In addition, students will explore the theme in the novel and apply that to their understanding of the young girl in the story.
This donation of books and related study guide materials will enable me to expose my students to literature that will help my students grow academically and as human being who will contribute to society.
Students will be exposed to literature written from the perspective of “the other” with the intention of creating a sense of empathy and understanding between cultures. Through our reading of this novel, students will have a broader view past injustice and will be better citizens for it.
