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.

I teach middle school drama/speech grades 6 - 8. We are a title I school district in a high-risk community where most of students are minority and low-income.

Our new drama / speech program was created to promote public speaking skills in a community where many students are English language learners. Our students do not have daily access to formal speech skills. They learn to speak in slang, but learn to speak very little formal language. Our students need to develop the speaking skills the need to succeed after school in interviews, in college, or in the workplace.

I need to create a library of age appropriate performance materials that students can use to improve their public speaking. Students will learn to perform monologues, perform short plays, and participate in reader's theater.

You can make it possible for these children to become better public speakers and create a brighter future for themselves.
