Class experience
This class is part of a series of patriotic classes exploring American Symbols. The class will begin with a welcome song. Learners will then view photos through a PowerPoint slideshow. I will use questioning techniques and discussion as students interact with each other and with me.

Students will: ❖ Learn the history of the World War II Memorial in Washington, DC ❖ Learn basic information about World War II ❖ Learn a few signs in ASL related to course content
My excitement about American symbols began with my travels to Washington, DC. I loved stepping onto the exact spot Martin Luther King Jr. stood for his iconic I Have a Dream speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. Walking through the White House thrilled me as I imagined the historic individuals who had walked its halls. I have enthusiastically taught many learners about Washington, DC through books, music, and plays. I'm so excited to share American symbols with Outschool students! I am a teacher certified to teach elementary grades 1-6 and deaf/HH students pre-K-12. I worked as an educational interpreter for several years and as an elementary teacher for many years. My education and work experience have provided the skills to teach American Sign Language and American History to learners on Outschool.
❖ One piece of paper ❖ Pencil ❖ Black Sharpie or other black marker
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
* Note: I will briefly touch on parts of the war, including the rise of Adolf Hitler, the Holocaust, Pearl Harbor, D-Day, Allies & Axis nations, and the ending of the war with the atomic bomb.
My classes will be taught from my home among white pines and cedars near Lake Superior in northern Minnesota. You will find me to be a warm, encouraging, and genuine person. I love teaching! Having the privilege of spending my days with children...
