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 Project
In our AP Language and Composition class, our students will learn what makes writing engaging, entertaining, and inspiring.
Trevor Noah's memoir, "Born a Crime", will introduce our students to rhetoric, humor, and narrative in ways that are both hilarious and thought-provoking.
Through collaborative group work, shared reading, classroom discussion, and personal reflection, our students will use "Born a Crime" as a model for discovering and sharing their own authentic voices, stories, and perspectives on the world. We've seen the power-sharing stories can have; thank you for helping make this project a reality!
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
