My Students

My students come from diverse backgrounds of race, social economic status, gender, and other aspects of identity. Many students find solace from their harsh realities in education and their work reflects this. They are active, curious, resilient, and brilliant.

Their various backgrounds and experiences allow for vibrant and rich conversations, and they need content as varied and engaging as they are.

When given choice and opportunity, these students not only rise to the occasion, they exceed any and all expectations.

My Project

Literature can be both a mirror that reflects our lives and a window that lets us see through to another world. Some books are both. You know the image of the white bonnet and the red cloak; they have come to mean one thing: women’s oppression. Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel The Handmaid’s Tale, is a window into a near-future dystopia that is becoming all too reflective our our current society.

In today's society, it is more important than ever to have students reading novels that are both windows and mirrors that can be analyzed against our own lives.

We will use this book specifically to learn literature analysis. The Handmaid's tale is a perfect novel to take a deep dive into textual analysis, theme, motifs, and close reading, and to have students engaged enough to actually want to learn!
