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.
I teach at a wonderful urban school with fantastic students. Our school provides an exciting single-gender STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) program. We are located in a culturally diverse neighborhood in the heart of the city. Students are encouraged to cultivate a growth mindset by taking academic risks and learning from their mistakes in a safe environment. Students learn how to self-advocate for themselves and support each other.
Our school provides a wide array of opportunities for students to explore their interests through project-based learning, museum art school partnership, CTE Engineering School, Robotics and Coding classes, Community College Courses, Music Program, Art club, Bookworm Buddies Club, French club, Gender Sexuality Club, and Game Club.
My Project
I am requesting a class set of Candide for my French class. I plan to read and share the classic French novel with students. Candide is sort of like the adult version of The Little Prince. It’s a picaresque novel by one of the most influential French philosophers, Voltaire. It was written in the Age of Enlightenment and on the surface it is a tale of adventure, discovery, even romance, but really it all is a serious commentary on French society in the eighteenth century.
I want to share this part of French culture with my students so they can better understand French history.
