My Project
My students will be excited to begin our unit on biographies of famous Americans. We will read biographies and make "bottle biography figures" to represent our research. I want to have the selection of biographies mirror the diversity of the students in my room. Students value each other and the differences as well as our similarities. I hope to provide my students with a multicultural selection of biography books to choose from as they learn about famous people who have overcome obstacles in their lives.
Biographies such as Who Is Chloe Kim and Who is Kamala Harris will enhance the diversity of our classroom selection. I want each and every student to find a biography to research that is meaningful to their lives. Our classroom library should be inclusive of all students so that everyone feels that they are seen and heard.
