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
My students are high school juniors and seniors who are simultaneously excited for and terrified by the prospect of college. In order to help them prepare for the college application process, I work closely with them to not only help with the logistics of such a complicated process but provide support and motivation throughout.
My students have big plans for college and their lives.
They want to go on to become doctors, lawyers, teachers, and investment bankers. They have only a short year until they will have to navigate the world outside of the school that many of them have known since sixth grade. I want to ensure that they are given all the resources necessary for them to transition from high school to college and beyond.
My Project
For the first time, I am teaching Mock Trial to a group of 11th and 12th graders. I was excited about teaching a subject close to my heart but seeing my students' excitement about mock trial truly made it all the better! They started learning about the different procedures and steps in mock trial and recently received their first case.
However, we want to bring mock trial to life!
My students requested costumes to help mock trial feel more real. As we develop the class, I am looking forward to using these props to engage the students more and see them interact with the different aspects of mock trial!
More than half of students from low‑income households
