My Students

I teach freshman English to an amazing group of students from a variety of different backgrounds, and abilities. In this class, we are a family. We learn from each other, grow with each other, and strive to be better people every day. We use books to learn about our communities and tie them to things we can relate to through service projects. I guide them through learning by fostering a love of reading and teaching them a sense of belonging.

My Project

We just switched back to virtual learning and I want to give my students some incentives to show up for meets. Once a week we will be playing trivia games that revolve around the material we are learning. Students will have the chance to earn gift cards that I will mail to their home, or custom t-shirts. Before going virtual, I polled the students and these are the things they were most interested in earning. Also included in this project are some books, we need enough copies for each student. This particular book is one of my favorites because it's fun, it represents the culture of several minority students, and introduces them to several literary elements that will help them as they move through high school.
