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 Students

My students attend a Title 1 school; 80% of my students live in a low income household. I have a mixed group of students that have high to very low reading abilities. In one class, I have students who are reading at high school level and some who struggle to read at fourth grade level. The majority of my students are English Language Learners that benefit from visual texts.

My students are sweet, loving and they strive to do well in school.

They hope to go to a good high school, get good grades, join sport teams and eventually go to college. They would love to have speciality items, that are not in the school budget, to help them learn.

My Project

I'm requesting 30 copies of the graphic novel, The Tell-Tale Heart. This class set will be used by five classes. My students are in need of visual texts that will support their learning. This trimester we are working on writing personal narratives. I'm using many texts to teach narratives but I would like to use this book to teach artistic choices and to highlight an alternative way to tell a story.

This graphic novel will support my English Language Learners in reading The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe.

For my advanced students, it will push their analysis and comparrison skills to the next level. By incorporating graphic novels into the classroom, I hope to encourage reluctant readers to become life long readers.
