This project will help me to compile a student library dedicated to the History department where students can see themselves in history and better understand the struggles of other communities as well.
They will have dedicated time to choose a book that interests them and report out to the class about what they have learned, why it's important, and how it's connected to their community.
These titles are specifically chosen to illuminate and address struggles that the communities my students come from have faced, continue to face, and will have to overcome as adults. By creating choice in the book selection and grounding the books in experiences they can relate to our students will be further empowered as they face the challenges within their communities.
