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 Students

MBA is a magnet school in New Haven, Connecticut, and is populated with students from not only New Haven, but surrounding suburban schools. All of my students are freshmen and are required to take my Theatre class to fulfill their Arts requirement. Most of my students are non-arts kids and are often stressed about having to take a Theatre class. At the end of the school year, I get many thank-you notes from my students thanking me for helping them feel more comfortable about not only speaking in class but speaking in front of the class. Many have stated that they dreaded coming to class but in the end, were thankful for it.

My Project

This computer will help me communicate what I am teaching more clearly to my students online. Being able to draw and emphasize various technical theatre subjects, such as stage design and lighting design is extremely helpful. It will be helpful to show how to write cues.

A computer that I can draw on it will show the students, who are online, the angles that are needed for lighting and scene design and will help them to understand why angles are important.

It will also help bring the designs to life.

Thank You!

Ms. Kelly Metropolitan Business Academy Grades 9-12
