Celebrating 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 Students
My 8th graders from Chicago are learning how to be global citizens who are internationally minded and recognize their common humanity and shared guardianship of the planet.
They come to school each day ready to engage and explore in issues and ideas that have local, national and global significance.
I love that my students strive to be inquirers, knowledgable, thinkers, communicators, principled, open-minded, caring, risk-takers, balanced and reflective. They know these traits will help create a better and more peaceful world.
My Project
Students are currently reading the 2017 National Book Award Winner "The Hate U Give" by Angie Thomas in literature class.
Movies can be an integral part of the language arts classroom when they are used in ways that encourage and develop students' critical thinking.
In this unit students will explore matching texts—novels and the movies adapted from them—to develop their analytical strategies. They will use graphic organizers to draw comparisons between the two texts and hypothesize about the effect of adaptation. They will analyze the differences between the two versions by citing specific adaptations in the film version, indicating the effect of each adaptation on the story, and deciding if they felt the change had a positive effect on the overall story.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
