π π What a week! Shoutout to the staff, tech folks, teachers, principals, students, parents & district admin for all the work that went into the 1st week of school. Was it perfect? Heck no! But we will improve everyday in order to provide the best education possible. #JCSALLIN
Dunn was inspired by Project LIT, the first initiative that got her interested in bringing LIT titles in her classroom. Dunn is a finalist for the competition, which is based on traffic to the post. More LIT titles will be funded for her room if she wins. Check it out!
6 teenagers trapped inside a building after a bomb. One of them did it. Want to read more? Come get Time Bomb from Mrs. Dunnβs room and join Project LIT on March 5 in the SHHS library for a student-led meeting with snacks, trivia, and a discussion of the bookβs societal issues.
One of the first Project LIT titles being used in an ELA classroom to truly ENGAGE students. Representation in texts is one of the most powerful tools we have at our disposal and makes a world of difference to students who aren't always represented, particularly in ELA.
The first Project LIT meeting was a success! Ss discussed the power of relevant literature representative of students and real issues such as immigration and access to mental health programs. Next up is Time Bomb on March 5. Come by A277 for a copy! #justreadit
It's tomorrow! Project LIT in the @SHHS_JCS library from 3-4 to discuss I am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter. Come enjoy trivia and a round table discussion about this complex, amazing story. We have snacks and will choose the next book and sign up for leadership roles.
First Project LIT book: I am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter. Stop by the library or A277 (Dunn's room) before now and 15 January to check out a copy. First book club on 28 January from 3-4 in the @SHHS_JCS library. Come enjoy great literature, conversation, and snacks!
The first faculty/staff informational meeting about SHHS Project Lit will be December 10th after school in Mrs. Dunn's room! We are pumped! If you would like to contribute, come by! We are starting with I am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter.
Project LIT books from @JCPSFoundation are in my classroom! Students chose the one they will read for our in-class book clubs to finish out the year. We ππ» are ππ» so ππ» excited!
Anyway, I'm going to keep writing "banned" books. Because the kids I write about deserve to see themselves whether their stories make YOU comfortable or not.
Socratic Seminar in SPED English? You bet! My kids demonstrated knowledge of themes, social issues, and implications for their lives when reviewing The Hate U Give during today's seminar. What a great way to end the week! @angiecthomas@ProjectLITComm@litshhs
