My Project
U.S. history is a rich, diverse story filled with immigrants who, sometimes separately and at times working together, utilized this great framework we have, our Constitution, to build a new life in the United States.
Textbooks don't often adequately tell that rich story.
Literacy and historical inquiry are enriched by reading many texts. In my classroom, we read a diverse set of texts. I hope to make them better readers by making them read more, critically, and often.
My classroom reflects the history of the United States-diverse, rich, from all abilities and social classes, and we come from places all over the world. We live in a university town. 11% of our students are second language learners.
We are a high-needs school-52% below the poverty line. While some have traveled the world, some have never had the opportunity to travel.
These books will give my students a richer, fuller U.S. History narrative that looks more like all of us-what U.S. History actually is.
Nearly all 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
