My Students

My students are creative, collaborative learners! They enjoy working in pairs and small groups.

My students come from a variety of backgrounds.

Some students have lived in our community all their lives, as their parents did before them, some are new to the state, the country, and the American way of life!

This year, we are studying the American Dream through literature from colonization to modern day. Some students are avid readers, but for many, technology is much more interesting. We need texts that spark interest and help students connect to their own community!

My Project

My students read a variety of American texts, including "To Kill a Mockingbird," "The Color of Water," and "The Crucible" which all discuss persecution in America throughout history. "Just Mercy" is the true story of Bryan Stevenson's fight for justice for minority death row prisoners and the creation of the Equal Justice Initiative.

Adding "Just Mercy" to our course will help students connect the themes we explore through literature with issues impacting society today!

Bryan Stevenson's story is one of hope in the face of injustice and encourages readers to fight injustice for those without a voice or means to fight for themselves.
