Description
Class Experience
At the completion of this course, students will have tools to help them read a text for deeper understanding (active reading strategies). In addition, they will have the shared experience of talking about individual perspectives on the book.
At the request of parent/student I am offering a course that centers on African American literature and perspectives that are often largely neglected in mainstream classes. My doctoral education in issues of race, ethnicity, and power relationships, along with the many classes I have taught in this area, have prepared me to present these issues in a thoughtful way.
Assigned reading and reflection questions
Students will need their own copy of the chosen book. It is widely available online and in libraries. Please let me know if you need help finding a copy.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
While written assessments are not required, I am happy to provide thoughtful feedback on a final paper if requested.
50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
This class will focus upon issues of racial minority experiences in the United States.
