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 Students
My students are from south Los Angeles County, the majority of them are Latinos, many are second language learners, and they attend a high school with over 2000 students. They are part of the Health, Science, and Medicine Academy at our high school.
My students need resources to help prepare them for the rigors of the Advanced Placement Language and Composition Test.
College Board has made some big changes for the upcoming 2020 test and I would like to provide my students with study guides to help them have as many test tasking strategies available to them as possible to ensure a passing score on the test in the Spring.
My Project
Dr. Martin Luther King once said, "The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education."
I am requesting AP study guides for each student that I will use as a daily warm-up to get class started.
Students will use the study guides to help them be familiar with the testing style and format used by The College Board for the Advanced Placement test in May.
My AP students are from a lower socio-economic community where most are the first in their family to graduate from high school, and most hope to go on to college.
Passing their AP exams allows them to test out of their GE courses thereby saving them both money and time once they start their college education. This would be a huge advantage that I hope for them to earn for themselves.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
