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 am a 10th grade Modern World History and Advanced Placement World History teacher at an inner city school. A majority of the students are sons and daughters of immigrants or immigrants themselves.

My students are in a history class learning about topics they are interested in and want to present their information in creative ways. They have constantly been suggesting creating "history" by creating movies that relate to the topics in class. What the students need are some tools to help them create these historic movies in class.

The resource that would help bring my students' dreams a reality is this computer that is capable of editing films as well as transferring films to DVD or CD. For example, in group projects, each group could produce a propaganda commercial that will convince people to go to war during World War I. Through this donation of the computer, my students will be able to have a station to edit and to improve their projects in a professional manner.

This donation will help my students enjoy learning about history, but also make it more alive and creative for them. Instead of history just being a bunch of dates and names, the students will create history and be able to edit and polish their projects into excellent learning tools that will hook them into learning more about history.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
