Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 4
In this class, students will learn about the fearless Fannie Lou Hamer who made a difference in America by putting her words into action. She fought tirelessly for equality and rights for black people. Although, she was brutality attacked and knocked down because of her race, she continued getting back up and moving forward.  Students will learn about her early life and her life as a civil rights activist. They will understand how she fiercely fought for voting rights. We will talk about her contributions to the civil rights movement, and how she was able to help make a change for many people in America. They will learn about her struggles as an African American woman and how she able to overcome them. We will also discuss her leadership characteristics. By the end of the lesson, students understand why Fannie Lou Hamer is an important historical figure who deserves recognition for promoting social change. 

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.

Profile
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.
