My Students
We are a 6-8 middle school in a small, rural, K-8 Title-1 school on an Indian Reservation in Washington state. The students are strong and powerful, with deep roots in their community. I am often humbled and honored to be their teacher.
They engage well with work that they can find a personal connection with.
Classes on native culture and regional native languages are incorporated into their week. I hope to develop projects and lessons that they can connect with, and that will enrich their lives.
My Project
I would like to incorporate whole book reading into my social studies content. Integrating whole books into the units will encourage a culture of reading, and help students make larger connections to what they are learning. Wrapping a history or health unit around a whole book provides opportunities to focus on the larger concept presented in the book, while presenting the details in a more interesting and accessible manner.
Our middle school is comprised of widely diverse learners.
Using a whole book format I will be able to assign independent reading, ability group for projects and reteaching, and bring together diverse groups for socratic seminars and discussions.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
