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 Project

We are seeking your support to bring Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston into our AP Literature and Composition classroom. This groundbreaking novel invites students to explore themes of voice, autonomy, race, and gender through rich figurative language and a powerful narrative of self-discovery.

Learning Goals:

Analyze narrative structure, frame storytelling, and regional dialect.

Evaluate how Hurston uses symbolism and figurative language to develop theme.

Examine intersections of identity, power, and voice in literary and historical context.

Strengthen AP-style analytical writing, especially around prose analysis.

Major Creative Projects:

Voice & Vision Monologue: Students write and perform an original monologue from the perspective of a minor character, exploring unspoken narratives.

Literary Quilt Project: Students create a visual quilt square with written commentary representing a central symbol, theme, or moment from Janie’s journey.

Critical Lens Panel: Students research and present different literary lenses (feminist, historical, etc.) to analyze the novel from multiple perspectives.

Your donation will empower students to engage deeply with a transformative text that not only prepares them for the AP exam but also helps them find and value their own voices.
