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

Analyzing the novel Feed by M.T. Anderson provides advanced 8th-grade English students with a critical lens through which to explore the complex relationship between technology and society. By examining elements such as character development and thematic depth, students will enhance their analytical skills and learn to interpret the author's commentary on technology's pervasive influence. This engagement encourages them to draw parallels between the fictional world and their own experiences, fostering informed discussions on the ethical considerations surrounding technological advancements and promoting a deeper understanding of literary elements.

The primary goals for this project include cultivating critical analysis, facilitating meaningful discussions on the implications of technology, and inspiring creative expression.

The students in this advanced class are characterized by their curiosity and critical thinking skills, making them eager to tackle challenging material. By exploring Feed, they will not only gain valuable insights into literature but also develop a greater awareness of the societal impacts of technology, preparing them to become informed and conscientious individuals in an increasingly tech-driven world.
