My Project

Reading resources are invaluable for an English language learner. By adding to my historical library, I can provide my ELL students books that will provide the opportunity to build on challenging terms. I love that my students are passionate about learning, however I fail at times to provide the proper resources to help them truly store knowledge and permanently learn terms. My goals for this project are to build an extensive library filled with historical content, interesting content full of additional examples to further understanding of topics such as World War II, the Civil War and different eras of American history. I feel by providing more options, students have the chance to connect personally with the material. I love it when students learn from the lessons of history and apply it in their lives. Books allow students to see things in an expanded fashion and imagine historical situations clearer.
