In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Google Classroom and/or our Outschool Classroom will be used to share reading guides for each text, and Google Slides will be used in screen-share mode to present information on the novel's author, themes and other relevant information. Youtube Videos will be embedded into Google Slide presentations shown in screen-share mode. Politically and culturally sensitive topics will be discussed each week of class with some topics being heavier than others. We will routinely approach highly sensitive topics including state-sanctioned violence, police brutality, criminality and systemic oppression. The course educator has undergone significant Diversity, Inclusion and Sensitivity trainings to properly support students in understanding and processing this information. Sessions where tough topics will emerge will be preceded by a content warning.
Course curriculum is derived from each novel and its relevant themes. Occasionally, we may engage with YouTube media content for brief overviews of the novel and alternative perspectives and opinions.
