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 Project

Last week, an avid reader in my ELA class was looking for good LGTBQ+ literature to find characters grappling with the same questions about identity and life that she has been grappling with. While I have a lot of great books for teens, as we looked through my shelves to find a few good options, I realized that students like this girl needed to be able to readily find great LGBTQ+ books to find the mirrors and windows that they are looking for.

The books in this grant will give my LGBTQ+ students as well as allies and open minded readers a glimpse into great books that capture the teen LGBTQ+ experience.

These books will engage students in reading, but will also allow my students to see their questions and identities in books.
