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
"Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? No." Pablo Picasso had a point, and my students would benefit greatly from a color printer in the classroom.
My students are from south Los Angeles county, the majority of them are Latinos, many are second language learners, and they attend a high school with more than 3000 students.
They are part of the Health, Science, and Medicine Academy at our high school.
My Project
A color printer will allow for more creativity in our classroom. My sophomores write a research paper during the fall semester that must include visuals in their final drafts. A color printer would add another layer of depth to their work that a standard black and white copy does not provide. Another assignment that would benefit greatly from a color printer is their autobiographical poems that must include photos of themselves as well as images that are important to them that introduce them to their classmates during the first week of school. Towards the end of the school year students get a chance to write narratives and creative stories. A color printer would allow them artistic creativity to partner with their writing.
My students need a color printer and toner to make their hard work come to life.
They spend so much time writing and finding just the right image, yet many do not have color printers at home. Having this technology in the classroom would allow the students to see their hard work as they imagined it, not just in black and white.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
