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.

My Students

Most of my students are part of a multimedia academy within a diverse urban high school. Some of our students have a history of being very strong academically; others have struggled academically in the past. What they all share is a desire to learn about media from an artistic perspective and develop a clear direction in high school. These students learn how to use digital technology to express their ideas and learning. I teach them English language arts within the academy in a way that is designed to inspire their use of new media. We explore ideas about story and how they might be depicted visually, and we explore their own stories and visions.

Most of these students stay in the program for three years and leave high school not only with a diploma but also with a solid set of skills that few graduates have.

However, perhaps more importantly, they leave high school having had an unusual experience of bonding and collaboration among their peers and teachers. These students are among the most creative in our school, and I have the pleasure of watching them develop over three years.

My Project

This model of camera is the most popular piece of equipment we have in our academy, but we don't have enough! Kids love to use it because of its high quality and ability to take both still and video shots.

High-quality equipment allows students to learn industry-standard skills, which leads them to create more professional-looking projects.

I love to see my students film their projects because it calls for a whole other set of skills than most English teachers are used to seeing in their classes. This year, in my class alone, students will be using cameras to make a narrative project about their own personal lives, a movie trailer for a book, and a documentary film about an author. However, this camera will also benefit all the rest of the students in our academy because they too will be able to use it. It is a key piece of equipment for all of our kids.
