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

Students at my school participate in inquiry-based expeditions that ask them to be the leaders of their own learning. They are asked to think about a topic over an extended period of time and consider important questions to guide their learning. Our school works hard to have more student talk in the classroom and less teacher talk, so we use protocols and structures to help them develop their verbal and written communication skills. We love reading novels and discussing as a class!

My Project

Students in my classroom engage with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) as an anchor text for our yearlong learning expedition. After studying the creation of the UDHR we examine a dystopian community of the future in "The Giver" by Lois Lowry where the rights of citizens are repeatedly violated in their quest for perfection and "sameness."

Students in my classroom are active readers who are expected to annotate texts as they read to prepare for class discussions and Socratic seminars.

By having their own copy of "The Giver" to underline, highlight, and make notes in the margins, students will have a tool that will dramatically improve their reading experience.
