My Project

My students love to explore and use creative ways to interpret literature. A classroom set of "A Raisin in the Sun" will help them enhance their knowledge in analyzing text and interpreting literature in a thought provoking way.

The students will use the text to analyze and interpret literary works by the use of literary elements and explain how this can help them with writing and reading.

These skills that are needed and essential for understanding and responding to others ideas as well as their own.

This particular literature will give the students an opportunity to be open-minded about the environment that they come from, in addition which will not determine their success, but the actions that they choose through choices and decision making as they use them effectively .

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
