In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Students will research some topics online, read articles on websites, and occasionally watch an informational YouTube video to complete homework assignments. I will refer to the Google Suite for completing homework assignments (for example, writing a short reading response in Google Docs), but learners are welcome to use any office suite they are familiar with, but will need to let me know so we can make sure I can view the files when they turn them in. Students will read and discuss in a matter-of-fact way the following texts which tackle some sensitive topics. Some of the topics tackled will be murder, revenge, racism, anti-Semitism, foul language, and sexism. The books tell stories that include these elements and the students will discuss these issues in a matter-of-fact way in context to when/where it happened or is depicted as happening. It is important for learners to know that these issues exist even if they don't have a personal connection to one or any of the topics. These books are taught to high school/secondary school aged children all over the world and are considered to be age appropriate with the knowledge of the sensitive issues that will be covered.
