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.
A typical day in my classroom revolves around literature. Students are exposed to a rich, novel-based curriculum. My students work to answer higher-order thinking questions centered around each novel I teach. This exposure to rich literary pieces of text enables my students to grow intellectually from year to year.
My students are from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
They are eager to read novels of interest to them. Our school provides our students with a rich educational foundation and prepares them for the challenges of high school by having them grapple with the novels I have selected. Novels that are of interest to students serve to teach psychology, geography, history, and English literacy, all in one additionally entertaining package. By providing students access to literature that I myself enjoy, I foster in each student a love of reading. In addition, these novels encourage students to grapple with themes that evoke passionate debates. My students can relate or see themselves in the characters they meet. Through this novel, students will learn about friendship, adventure and loyalty. They will think about their own culture and learn about the harm of stereotypes.
My Project
Through our acquisition of the book I Am Malala The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban, students will discuss problems and injustices that exist in education in countries all over the world. Students will discuss the following themes: Gender and Gender Inequality, Education and Fear vs. Courage. My students will read the novel aloud utilizing the audio CD.
We will read the book as a class and will discuss the important themes presented in the book.
We will have higher-order thinking activities which will require students to question people's actions and how they impact our world.
