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

I teach 7th grade English Language Arts at a public school where many of my students are developing readers and writers. But when you sit down and really listen to them speak, it’s clear: they have powerful voices—they just need the right platform to shine.

This project will allow my students to create their own classroom podcast series where they will plan, write, and record short episodes focused on books we’ve read, personal narratives, interviews with characters, theme debates, and original stories.

These podcast episodes will be shared with classmates, families, and our school community to celebrate student voice and deepen their connection to literacy.

Ms. Deline Idea College Preparatory - Edgecliff Grades 6-8
