In this 10-week class, students will learn about various regions, arts, and cultural concepts across the African world
Class experience
Greetings all! Welcome back to another fantastic year of learning about the Afrikan world. If you took one of the Diaspora classes last year, this is part 2. If you are new, you are in for some hands-on learning and fun! In this 10-week class, scholars will take a deep dive into specific Afrikan concepts, regions, people, and art. I love to use materials that are readily available in the home for all projects. Each class will begin with a short video clip or song and jump into the first...
Students will learn about Afrikan culture through hands-on projects.
I have taught similar art history and history courses over the past several years for ages 6-16; I understand the importance of presenting small bites of information for students to digest while doing fun activities; some topics will be sensitive and I encourage parents to have continuing discussions with learners about course material and Afrikan ourstory in general. I will be sure to answer questions from a historical and research-based perspective while being compassionate to learner experiences.
Homework Offered
Learners can finish any in-class projects at home; learners will need to prepare their final project to present week 100 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
End of semester project will be presented at our virtual Afrikan marketplaceGrades Offered
Learners should refer to the course description for a weekly breakdown, but will need a paper, pencil, and colors at minimum each week. If they do not have materials, all projects can be substituted with paper/pencil. End of semester project will be up to learner
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Parental consent needed for use of scissors, glue, active movement during our capoeira activity, Kahoot/Blooket, and Google slides. Instruction will include small YouTube clips to introduce topics; parental consent needed for those as well. Projects are meant to engage entire families-parents are welcome to help students with their projects out of class and supplement content as needed. Some of the topics will include discussion about Afrikan resistance to enslavement-topics will be handled with sensitivity and evidence based-discussion. Parents should approve end of semester projects midway through the course so that learner has appropriate materials.
