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
AVID is a college prep program that helps students in the AVID elective class successfully navigate their way TO and THROUGH a four-year university. The students meet together in the elective class for all four years of high school and they engage in content that helps build their college-ready skills as well as their college knowledge.
AVID's mission is to close the achievement gap, so we serve students who might have one or more risk factors that would keep them from attending a four-year university.
In my classes, we have students who live in poverty, students who belong to ethnic and racial groups that are underrepresented in college, and students who will be the first in their family to attend college. They have all pushed themselves during their high school career to take more rigorous courses, like honors and AP courses, and engage in extra-curricular activities to develop both their academic and emotional preparation for college.
My Project
Teaching reading in a public school setting means my students are assigned copies of our books that are returned when they finish reading them for next year's students. In other words, they aren't allowed to mark up the texts. Yet research shows that students who engage with texts comprehend them better. Strategies like the 5 Levels of Close Reading require students to annotate the text in order to help them make meaning. Paraphrasing. Explicating. Analyzing. How can we employ these strategies effectively with books in which we cannot write? I am requesting copies of the book for each student on 10th and 11th grade AVID so they can do just that.
