Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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.

I teach sixth-grade literacy at a middle school in the Bronx. My class is currently in the midst of a unit on the Dust Bowl. We have read Karen Hesse's novel "Out of the Dust" and have studied the photography of Dorothea Lange. In studying Ms. Lange's work, we have focused on the way she documents the hidden realities of everyday life and, in turn, the way her photographs functioned as social protest. As the culmination of our unit, I would like to have the students create their own photo essays of their lives and the lives of those around them. I have talked with professional photographer John Montgomery, and he has agreed to come into our classroom for two days in February--once to inaugurate the project, teach the students how to use the cameras, and share his work with them; and once at the end of the unit to celebrate the work. In order to do this project, I will need fifty-five disposable cameras, one for each student. The students have taken passionately to the Lange photographs we have studied and will absolutely love the chance to do their own work. I always strive to unleash the creative capacities of my students, and I am always amazed at depth and originality of the work they turn in. I think they would find the photographic medium both exciting and empowering, and I really hope I can give them this opportunity.
