My Students

Teen middle schoolers are at a critical time in their lives. Many of the decisions that they make, both good and bad, may have a ripple effect for many years to come. This is the main demographic of my students. They are 8th grade English Language Art students who are diverse, witty, technologically savvy, easily distracted and amused, creative, and "undercover" scholars.

These students come motivated to learn, to think critically, and to engage in dialogue that promotes understanding and collaboration.

However, one huge distraction to manifesting all these great qualities is supposed to be zipped up in their backpacks or left in their lockers.

My scholars can handle the rigor of the culturally relevant curriculum when the environment promotes the individuality of ideas, and the safe landing to explore where such thoughts will lead. They are ready to focus on the task at hand, but there's an elephant in the room...

My Project

My students will realize while reading this book that they have something to contribute to society. They are never bankrupt of influence and they must invest themselves for a future dividend of success. We will reflect on the situations that we read about in the book and predict their outcomes based on what can be inferred and clearly seen in the text. As we connect with the characters in this novel my students will collaborate on solutions to similar real word events with sympathy and compassion. I hope it will result in an awareness of the power to restrain " The hate you give.¨
