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

My students will be working on a very meaningful project, their autobiographies. Technology is great but in order for this project to be of significance it must be done hands on.

Moreover, I’ve noticed for quite some time now that students tend to use AI and translator to do assignments.

By providing standard paper, pens, scissors etc, to my students, we will be providing them with the necessary tools to wake up their imaginations.

Students will write their five autobiography chapters in class. Students will use a significant amount of paper, pens, scissors, rulers, highlighters to mention a few.
