Mae Jemison is a force to be reckoned with. She accomplished many great things throughout her career. She was able to break barriers and inspire others to reach for their dreams, even if they may seem impossible at first. She is not only an astronaut, but she is also a teacher, physician, and engineer. She did not let her skin color or gender stop her from being great. In this class, students will learn about the first black woman to go to space. They will learn about the history of her life and her journey to becoming the first black female astronaut. We will also talk about what she is currently doing now. We will discuss how she inspires others and why we need more people like her in the world to make a positive impact. This lesson will be interactive, and each student will have an opportunity to share their thoughts. This class has the potential to exceed 30 minutes, as I love to give every student the opportunity to speak in class, if they choose to do so.
Other Details

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.
