My Project
Books are such an important tool as it can be a lens through which they see their world. From immigrant stories to African American, Hispanic, and Asian experiences, more than half of the books on this list will allow students to have their eyes opened and see the world that they live in.
By creating a space where all students feel that they belong by seeing themselves and others in literature, students will understand, be understood, and become competent readers and citizens.
My goal for this project is to, in my classroom, have a "library" where the students can comfortably sit and read for joy and pleasure, not just because they are told so. My goal is for my students, through literature, to be found and open their eyes to the world of diversity. My goal is for my students to be excited about reading because they are truly engaged and intrigued. My goal is for my students, through reading, to e good scholars in various aspects of studies.
