Literacy and reading stamina are skills my students struggle with and are still continuing to build. Therefore, its been a challenge as their English teacher to find text that personally interest and represent them; text that speak to them, the world and make them want to read more and more. Most importantly, texts that highlight the experiences of marginalized groups and align with the Ethnic Studies emphasis in my courses. Last semester I completed a unit in three 10th grade English classes that focused on policing and criminalization. Using a combination of films and a series of news articles and text, we looked closely at the life of Kalief Browder and other young Black males alongside the current issue of undocumented children "caught in the crackdown" of the U.S. immigration system. In my one 12th grade class, we examined systems of oppression by thinking critically about the messages behind dystopian literature and films regarding the experiences of women. Some of those included Children of Men and The Handmaids Tale. Currently, we are entering a Women's Studies unit looking at the experiences of women around the world, starting with the women of Afghanistan. Since the students read excerpts and voted for these books, my hope is to boost engagement, build literacy and reading stamina in all my classes while bridging their prior knowledge.
