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
Our students come from one of the most economically distressed parts of our city. Every day, they overcome challenges in their community, families and their individual lives. These challenges include single parent (or even "zero" parent) homes, violence, poverty and discrimination.
Despite the fact they face many obstacles, they are determined to get the education that will lift them out of poverty and set them on the path to new horizons.
They need to have a rich background of literacy and critical thinking to successfully complete their journey.
My Project
S. E. Hinton wrote her classic novel The Outsiders when she was 16. The book deals with adolescent problems that are relevant today including relationships, conflicts and yearning all teenagers face. It has the added benefit that it is set in our home state.
My students will benefit from reading The Outsiders by learning critical thinking skills and discussing the life lessons novel can teach them.
The book, though very profound, is at a level that matches their reading levels. They will discover that reading can be very relevant to their lives. Please give my students the gift of reading.
