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

My students are hosting a book fair in order to encourage 7th, 8th, and 9th graders to get into the habit of reading for pleasure. The Juniors and Seniors that I teach in the Writing Center tutors class will model the fun and benefits of reading for students at the book fair. We are looking to give away high quality, culturally relevant books to students who come to visit the book fair. This will allow students to take home something that they are interested in reading during Spring Break from school so that they can reconnect with reading as a leisure habit.
