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 stylish students, who live in New York, need help to write stylish sentences. I teach a writing course for 10th graders. My students travel great distances to attend this school, which emphasizes writing, because they believe that studying the written word will prepare them for college. All students come from high-need communities.

My students were very discouraged after taking the PSAT, a precursor to the SAT. They study and do their homework, yet they now doubt their ability to succeed, or in the worst case, to even get into a good college. They want to improve as writers!

My students struggle with sentence variety, which is a key requirement for a high score on both the state's final exam and the SAT. My students, who dream of attending college, will benefit from this handbook because it offers concise definitions. I'd love to share this book with them because it resembles a college grammar handbook rather than a high school textbook.

If you ever achieved an academic goal, please fund this project! My students have set goals for their future, and I'm convinced that the "Art of Stylish Sentences" will get them there!
