My Students
The students in my classes are very eager to learn, creative and hardworking. They are from various backgrounds and as such are interested in learning about those around them. I would love to help them to learn history in our class through the eyes of those who experienced it. For this to happen, I need to begin to build a library of resources that are culturally responsible as well as sensitive as well as learn how different events in the history affect all people in this country.
My Project
Through this project my students will have the opportunity to see and learn history through the eyes of another person. I want my students to learn history in a culturally responsive and sensitive way. They are learning American History, but I would like them to learn that there are many facets to the topic, more than just what the text has to offer. For this to happen we must build a library or collection of materials that help to foster this cultural sensitivity. Education today is sorely lacking in the area of teaching from all angles, from the points of view of different people and through this project students will have the opportunity to do so.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
