In this one-time class, students will learn about the life and legacy of the wealthiest ruler of the Mali Empire, Mansa Musa. Students will learn about how Mansa Musa became rich, what he did with his fortune on his pilgrimage to Mecca, and the after-effect of his acts of generosity. This class is engaging and very interactive. If there is more time after the lesson, students will venture on a quest for gold as we play a fun review game in blooket. Please note that students should be comfortable with reading and answering the questions to participate fully. No additional device or account is needed. This class may run a few minutes over time, depending on class dynamics. See you in class!
Learning Goals

Welcome Outshoolers!
My name is Dalen, and I am excited about the opportunity to be part of your child’s learning journey! I hold an MPhil in Sociology and a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Social Work.
I love to engage with kids through stories because I believe storytelling is a powerful tool to teach and inspire curiosity.
I enjoy learning and teaching about the different cultures that make up our world. I offer classes in history, social studies, geography, life skills, and arts & crafts. I’ll describe my teaching style as interactive, supportive, and engaging.
On a personal note, I grew up in Ghana, West Africa. If I’m not spending time telling Ananse stories to my kids, I enjoy baking healthy treats and experimenting with food from around the world.
Join me as we discover the beauty of our world through captivating stories, food, art & crafts, and much more. I look forward to helping your child on their learning journey. See you in the classroom!
