Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 4
Many are familiar with Barack Obama as the first African American president, but few truly know the remarkable journey that led him to this historic milestone.


In this course, students will learn about the extraordinary life and compelling journey of Barack Obama, who made history as America's first black president. Students will learn about Obama's early life and the path he took to become the first black president of the United States. We'll explore his upbringing, education, and career as a community organizer and politician. We will also discuss the challenges he faced as an African American state senator and then president. By the end of class, students will gain a deeper understanding of Barak Obama's life and is incredible accomplishments. 

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.
