My Students
The students in my classroom come from a variety of backgrounds, but one thing unites them- they have all been identified as gifted learners. Gifted learners experience education in a multitude of ways. My district allows me to teach these students and offer them opportunities to explore areas that interest them the most.
By allowing these unique students the time to develop their gifts, they have a higher overall satisfaction with school.
These students also learn how to manage time and plan for big outcomes, and projects, presentations.
My Project
Part of my role as an English teacher is to provide my students with a context for understanding the world. One of the best ways I know how to do this is to provide them with many opportunities to read quality literature about the world.
This project would allow me to bring multiple periods from history into my classroom for students.
These periods range from the yellow fever epidemic in Philadelphia in the 1790s to World War II. They also allow students to examine issues such as racism, war, and illness.
