This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I would describe my students as being as bright and colorful. Form their skill sets to their personalities. In a class full of diverse learners my students are often able to showcase their talents, skills, and wide range of knowledge. One thing I like to tell stidenta is "with enough creativity and imagination" you can go anywhere.I encourage my students to approach all assignments and projects with: boldness,fearlessness,a never-give-up attitude, and an open mind. This mindset helps them to own everything they do in and outside of the classroom!
My Project
The notable John Dewey once said "If we teach our kids today,how we taught them yesterday, we rob them of tomorrow". As an educator, this means to me that as the world evolves, educators have the responsibility to evaluate, adapt to and teach students the skills and knowledge they need in order to compete in today's Career Force. Common Core does a great job at encouraging this, but there is also a need for student to develop skills at an earlier age. With the Shakespeare unit plan, students will have the opportunity to read Literature at an earlier age, thus allowing them the ability to process,analyze,compose, and critique literature at an earlier age.
