A Story Through A Picture

Help me give my students fun and exciting classroom projects that connect to literature.

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 Project

I teach English to high school students who hate reading. I am always trying to find new ways to trick them into liking literature. I have them do posters, powerpoints, and now I want to try making a unit assessment revolve around an image that they draw.

I want students to try engage their artistic ways and connect them to the literature we are reading.

Students will use the paint and the canvas to depict a scene from the readings and showcase it. They will write a description using literary devices found in the readings.

I think this would engage our students and push them to see past the chore of reading.
