Mrs. Alaffa’s Classroom Edit display name

My students need a variety of tech experiences and personal experiences that reach outside of their current situations. By providing them with mirrors into experiences like theirs and windows into others’ lives, they can further connect to the characters and realities in their reading. My students’ biggest challenges come from irrelevant literature. They are not able to make the connections necessary to make sense or inference correctly regarding the subject matter because they have never experienced life outside of their communities. My lessons focus on the connections, because students need to figure those out before analyzing the material effectively and sufficiently.
