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.
My Students
I teach a group of thoughtful and creative 10th and 11th graders who work hard to develop meaning and application of their burgeoning skills. My 10th grade students are engaging AP Seminar curriculum for the first time and will be encouraged by access to a variety of text types, writing opportunities and occasions to develop book discussion capacity and creativity. 11th graders will engage in a curriculum designed to increase their agency in understanding the role literature plays in shaping and revealing our personal and social selves and perspectives. These students will benefit greatly from a library rich in diversity, beautiful imagery and variations in perspective, as well nonfiction that helps to shape their approach in working with these. My hope is to provide a beautifully print rich environment that encourages an appreciation for the beauty of literature in conveying and shaping perception and experience and to facilitate their appreciation for counter and parallel narratives.
My Project
These books allow my students access to a diverse group of authors writing in different styles, from different perspectives and making different interpretations of their world. By facilitating the presence of these books in the classroom you assist me in building reading independence and appreciation in our classroom and give students access to books they can grapple with in student-led book-talks for 11th grade. The diversity in writing styles and perspectives is an important element of development in student agency and capacity in making judgements about an authors approach and understanding of a situation vs. their own; lending students an opportunity to determine how engaging new and different ideas shapes their perspective; and experiencing first hand how literature influences us and mimics other forms of cultural osmosis.
