I teach English in a Title-I school with a population of 3000 students that is 95% Hispanic, and most of those students speak English as a second language. My students are interested in learning, but the materials we use are non-engaging to most of the kids. When I have introduced them to newer, more modern literature titles, their desire to learn jumps because they relate better to the materials. These kids want learn, but they also want to be interested in what they read. I am trying to show them that reading is important and that reading is really how we learn.
