Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

This project aims to help our business class have a supplemental reading comprehension where students have a voice and choice to choose a business-related novel. Some books have interest to teens specifically and teenage girls as well.

Our business program is robust, but we would like to have the students read more novels with our literacy campaign.

This will allow them to read books that interest them in their business sections. Great care was taken to select books that will reach our various student populations. Many of these students are in their third or fourth section of business, and these books will give them real life application.
