Characters with Disabilities: Need Extra Books Quick!

Help me give my students more lower level books for literature circle choices. The books selected deal with social issues and main characters with disabilities. This will be a compliment to what we are already doing.

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

The students featured in this entry are my incoming 6th graders. I will be teaching three homerooms totaling 80+ students from the ages of 11-12. The students are mostly Hispanic Americans. I will service 70+ regular education students with inclusion, diverse learners. Also, transition bilingual students who receive ESL supports.

My students reading abilities range from 2nd grade to 8th grade reading abilities.

I work in a large urban district whose diverse learners and bilingual students are underperforming. Students are showing more growth each year on district and state testing. All students who struggled showed growth using response to intervention methods.

There is a slight unstable student enrollment, as well as, no funding for tutoring or afterschool programs. Majority of students receive free lunch and very few are on reduce or denied lunch status.

My Project

Middle school is already hard enough without you feeling like you are different. The students will learn about disabilities being a challenge, but not who diverse learners are. Students already have issues with peer pressure. I will be continuing into my third year with the literature circle groups helping them expand their perspectives on students with learning disabilities and fitting in.

Students will hold each other accountable through group planning and discussions.

In September, students will be given their expectations and group norms. Students will come prepared for their weekly Tuesday/Thursday meetings by reading ahead of time, which increases their fluency and vocabulary. As a group, the students will select from a variety of activity choices for their weekly discussions. Students will learn and engage through student-led discussions about disabilities complicating how students deal with social issues and identity.

Students will be given the opportunity to explore individually through project-based learning assignments. Students will be able to select from a variety of choices. Students will turn in from a selection of assignments, alternative projects, and calendar scheduling for grading.
