Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

High school students can struggle with long reading texts and difficult analysis, making learning boring. These materials will make reading more engaging and help students unleash their creativity and talent in creating, drawing, and expressing their imaginations. Small group instruction will not only enhance their creativity, but also improve socialization and boost confidence through teamwork.

The aim of this project is to create enjoyable group learning activities that high school students will love.

By engaging students in ELA reading and writing through creative expression, we can boost their confidence, social skills, and help them discover their talents.

Our ELA high school students are special because of their exceptional creativity, analytical skills, and passion for literature and language. Improving their passion and love for reading is our top priority. Letting them delve deeper in the world of literature that would express their thoughts and imagination is already a big achievement.
