My Students

My students are high school seniors who are simultaneously excited for and terrified by the prospect of college. In order to help them prepare for the academic demands of college, I have placed a heavy writing requirement in our ELA class spanning essays, poetry, memoirs, etc.

My students are the definition of survivors.

They have grown up in some of the toughest neighborhoods in New York. They fight the norm that surrounds them every single day by making the decision to stay in school and better themselves - both academically and emotionally. This group of students has made it to their senior year of high school - a milestone that too many of their friends, family, and former classmates have not yet been able to achieve. They have big plans for college and want to go on to become doctors, lawyers, teachers, and investment bankers. They have only a short year until they will have to navigate the world outside of the school that many of them have known since sixth grade. I want to ensure that they are given all the resources necessary for them to transition from high school to college and beyond.

My Project

My seniors only have five short months left with us before they head off to college.

Before our students leave high school, I want to ensure that they have a deep and nuanced understanding of feminism.

Therefore, for one of their final units, the students will be reading "Oedipus the King" and "Antigone" paired with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's book, "We Should All Be Feminists."

My hope is that through reading these texts in class, that all of my students, both male and female, are able to engage in a dialogue of what it means to be a feminist in the year 2018.
