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 Project

The items that are a part of this project were selected to help students engage with a variety of texts while they are reading, helping them keep track of their thoughts and idea while they are reading and differentiate between different types of annotations and associated comments.

The goal of this project is to help students develop strategies and close reading habits that will help increase reading comprehension and the development of skills that will benefit them both inside-and-outside of the classroom.

What makes my students special is their drive, resilience, and creativity.
