Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

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 Project

My students are good storytellers and write many original stories throughout the school year. I want to do something more meaningful and save these wonderful stories. I want my students to publish their stories and place it in the library so other learners will have the pleasure of reading these masterpieces.

A book publishing machine can empower students to create their own story books and inspire others.

This can help to foster creativity and encourage a love of learning. Above everything, this publishing machine will save my students from spending money on publishing.

The book publishing machine will enable students to customize their materials and can include images, charts, and graphs to make their stories more engaging and effective. It is a memorable hands on activity that will encourage all my students to be active and focused.
