US Grade 2 - 5

In this lesson, students will learn about a very significant person in African American history, Ida B Wells. She was a very remarkable and courageous lady who wanted there to be changes in America. She believed in equality, respect and justice for all people and that is what she spent her life fighting for. Ida B Wells exposed the racism and brutality against black people in the USA. Students will learn how this early civil rights leader advocated for black lives and equality. We will discuss how she fought for women's rights and how she helped create some very important organizations still used today. They will learn about her early life and how she made a difference in America. We will have discussions about racism, slavery, lynching, and equality in America. 

This class will be very informative and it also connects to my other African American classes. This lesson will be interactive, and each student will have an opportunity to share their thoughts and opinions. If you have any questions about the class or suggestions please send a message.  This class could possibly go over 30 minutes, as I love to give all students the time speak if they chose to do so.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Bachelor's Degree from University of North Florida

As an ESL Teacher and Tutor, I have taught classes on African American history, American Figures, Racism, and the civil rights movement for over 4 years. I have experience in teaching this subject to students in elementary, middle, and high school. I also have experience tutoring college students. I have a degree in Communications, so I will be able to communicate and teach this topic without being bias. I was able to research, write essays, and give speeches about this topic throughout college. I was trained by professionals to understand history and the issues surrounding history. Most importantly, I will allow each student to express their thoughts and opinions about this topic. This will help them communicate and show what they have learned. It is very important to include all students. I have taught African American history for 2 years. I studied communications in colleges which heavily focused on Afro and African American studies.
