Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Our high school students have the opportunity to earn a two year Associates degree while enrolled. All students will earn their degree free of charge while attending high school. Our school is a Title I school and 87% of the students qualify for free and reduced lunch.

My students are voracious readers and I struggle to keep up with new, exciting novels to have them read.

I created a reading club for my students and we meet once a month. All of my students cannot afford to purchase novels regularly, so I am looking for help to purchase books for the book club.

My Project

My students need new novels to read for our book club. We plan to read the novel and then view the movie. Students will have a chance to compare and contrast the different versions of the story. They will also analyze how the directors interpretation of the story impacts meaning. This is a great opportunity for students to branch out and read high-interest novels. Allowing students to see the movie after reading the book generates more interest and gets more students to read. Reading is the ultimate goal. Interesting novels are necessary to help students develop a love for literacy.
