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.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My students are ethnically diverse with an amazing world view which makes our Global History class the best place to discuss issues facing our world. Although our school is located in the heart of Manhattan, my students mostly come from Harlem, Queens, Bronx, and Brooklyn.
Our classes are heterogeneous where students work on many different projects, from differing levels and move forward to demonstrate their understanding of the concepts through performance based assessments.
Instead of preparing students for standardized testing, we prepare students to be individual thinkers, researchers, writers and presenters who can defend their knowledge.
My Project
My students this year will use Chromebooks to create new content online discussing issues facing our world today while connecting the historical origins and context of each issue. Creative contents such as video blogs, podcasts, PSA and much more will be utilized to make this Global History class come alive and personal.
Our projects challenge our student to stay informed about the world around them while also challenging them to take a stance on current issues.
Students will learn effective research methods as well as delineate reliable sources before creating their original content that is back by facts and raises awareness. Their creative projects will be uploaded to the web and shared with a global audience.
