Celebrating 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 Students
Every day, the students I work with teach me something about the world and myself. I am constantly reminded of how fortunate I am to participate in the formation of young people that are already expressly dedicated to public service. Since they are students at a magnet high school, they have jumped through a few hoops to get a seat in my class, and they participate with intensity which distinguishes them from students I have worked with in other school communities.
In short, my students rock and I want to do everything I can to support them as they find their voice, take a standpoint, and advocate as an agent of social change.
High school is challenging and adolescence is full of obstacles, so I am compelled to facilitate their self-actualization through academic rigor and individual validation.
My Project
These materials will personalize my students' experience of learning at home by giving each student their own copy of Bryan Stevenson's book Just Mercy. As students at a Social Justice magnet school in East Los Angeles, they are already dedicated to using their voice to take action in the creation of positive change in society.
As future lawyers and agents of change, my students seek to emulate role models such as Bryan Stevenson.
Since I talk about Just Mercy and Bryan Stevenson in class, the title and author are familiar and will be welcome in the student's library.
