My Students

My talented middle school students are from the far southeast side of Chicago. My students love to read and to explore the world around them. We read for enjoyment and to become better readers, writers, and thinkers.

Our classroom serves as an oasis to explore, create, and share.

It is a space that fosters a love of reading and wonder. My students' enthusiasm for learning is contagious. Through high interest literature, collaborative conversations, and student-driven instruction, my students are rockin' it in our middle school literacy classroom.

My Project

Seventh and eighth grade students will spend the school year learning about the Constitution in middle school. To support the social studies curriculum, I am requesting a subscription to Junior Scholastic for our literacy classroom to develop reading comprehension while reinforcing social studies knowledge and skills relating to civics, history, geography, and debates. Students will use the articles to explore current events in relation to the Constitution.

While reading, we will ask ourselves: What is my position on the issue?

How can citizens respond to the issue in support or against the issue? Which amendment relates to this issue? How would we evaluate the author's claim? We will use the magazine articles to engage in various discourse strategies such as debates, mix-pair-shares, collaborative conversations, which will ultimately lead to argumentative writing in the form of speeches, essays, mixed media artwork, and more. The subscription to Junior Scholastic offers endless curriculum possibilities to enhance our literacy classroom.
