My Project

I have the privilege of teaching three 7th-grade ELA classes in an urban setting school. If given the proper tools and guidance, my students are capable of amazing things. They are creative, intelligent problem solvers. There is no shortage when it comes to expressing themselves; they just need the tools how to do that in a constructive way. My students are inquisitive risk-takers who, when given a challenge, will not back away. As a teacher, I want to give them that challenge and give them to the world.

These packs of paper will help me be able to bring in various activities in our classroom.

I feel there is a need for pen-and-paper activities as much as there is for technological activities in the classroom. Having more paper than the box that is provided to me will give me the chance to teach my students how to annotate a text, create various different artistic kind of projects, and allow them to have a chance to write down their thoughts and inferences on the text we will be reading.
