During this eight session class students will learn about the life of a young girl named Anne Frank and read excerpts from her diary. Students will “see” what it was like to be in hiding to avoid persecution. Students will learn about Concentration Camps, Nazis, and discuss the importance of perseverance. This class will be taught through a combination of discussion and lecture style with Non-Fiction reading assignments where they will get Anne’s point of view. Students will discuss and consider her struggles, fears, hopes, and alternative means for survival. Students will be assessed through discussion, an in class quiz, and an Escape Room. STEM Activity No background is necessary for this class! No homework will be given in this class. If you would like a graded assignment please let me know and I will have one ready for you. Up next: Helen Keller

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! My name is Kathy and I live in Southern California. I love working with students all around the World and of all different ages. I mainly teach classes that are Language Arts based (reading, writing, spelling, and grammar). I also teach about Historical figures, especially if I can tie them into Literature. I also love teaching about animals, and doing story time for the younger kids.
I have been teaching for over 15 years. I have taught in traditional school settings, charter schools, home schooled my own children, and taught online. I have a BA in English as well as a K-12 Teaching Credential. I am very passionate about helping people learn to love reading and writing. I also love to help people that need a little extra help with spelling and grammar. It makes me so proud and happy to have a student tell me how much they think they are improving or to get answers correct on something they missed before.
My approach to teaching is interactive and hands on. I want my students to learn while having fun. I ask a lot of comprehension questions, group work, pair work, and projects (depending on the class). I try to do as much of the work in class as possible so that kids can still be kids once they are done.
My background is in English but I love History and Science too (especially the experiments). It wouldn't be unusual in one of my classes to have to make something that just pops into my mind because it seems fun. I love animals, chocolate, and all things Disney!
