My Students

I teach 12th grade English. My students are on the brink of going out and doing great things in this world. They are kind and smart and funny. They are filled with compassion and curiosity for what comes next in their worlds.

My goal is to help students see themselves in my classroom- every day- through the books that we read.

My students come from different cultures, different countries, different worlds. Putting high interest, academic novels for varied reading groups into the hands of my students will engage and encourage my students to grow, to lead, and to share literature and ideas with their peers.

My Project

Because of all of you, my classroom is FILLED with brand new books. And this year, these books are making their way into my students' homes.

The titles for this project are fresh off the newest Project LIT Book List for 2020-2010!

My students are LOVING these books- and even getting to meet some of the authors! (via Zoom, of course!)

This is exciting. My students want to read. And they want to talk about what they are reading. And much of that has to do with the books they are given access to.
