Last week, Mrs. Embry’s Heritage Speaking class did a project called “La Historia De Mi Vida”, which means “The Story Of My Life”. Her students were expected to make a timeline or roadmap of their lives with drawings of important events and anything that represented them. They had 4 days to complete them, and on the day they finished, they had 2 minutes to introduce themselves and present to other classmates individually. This was a creative, key project for their identity unit, “La identidad,” and Mrs. Embry says it is a great opener for Hispanic Heritage Month. She also stated that her students weren’t exactly excited to speak to one another individually, but at the end of it they were laughing and having fun getting to learn about one another in a way they hadn’t before. Mrs. Embry said, “My students did fantastic, and I am so proud of how they all were willing and able to participate!” It seems like this project went very well for all of them and we hope to see some more fun projects that add to students' learning!
