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 are kind-hearted and driven and very deserving. Some of them are going to be introduced to the French language, for the first time in a high school class that is going to be online because of COVID-19. Although we live in the San Francisco Bay Area, more than 70% of my students come from low-income households.
I am so proud of my students because they are striving to become the first generation in their families to graduate from high school and move on to college/university.
They are faced with many challenges in distance learning including lack of dedicated study space, responsibility for siblings, and severe economic hardship.
My Project
Virtual learning is very difficult for both students and teachers. I will use this camera to record my lessons, reflect on my own teaching, share them with my students, and use them to get feedback from my department or other French teachers in my district.
When teaching a unit on food from France or any other French-speaking countries, I’ll cook a live lesson demonstrating the steps to cook it.
Students need to know the mathematics concepts in order to convert the U.S. and metric systems of measurement. For the unit on clothing, I’ll ask students to dress up with traditional clothes from their own culture. We’ll videotape the fashion show and we’ll use it later to compare how students from different backgrounds celebrate their identity. This will help promote relationship building and critical studies of STEM and society in my classes.
