In this sequel 10-week course, students will read from the canon of Black/African poets around the diaspora and learn to write their own poetry.

Class experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Students will learn about and from Black poets across the diaspora and continent while learning to write their own poetry.
I've taught several Black/African history courses to ages 6-16. I continue to study and research the canon of Black literature and have taken several college level courses in Africana studies. I navigate sensitive topics with care and understand that some content may bring on emotional experiences for young learners. Parents will know ahead of time what subject matters may be discussed so that they can prepare. I will allow enough time for learner discussion and will continue to create a safe space for learners.
Homework Offered
Learners can finish up their poems from each week's session if they don't finish in class.
