Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(388)
In this 6-week course, students will explore the history of African American actors and movies in the film industry from 1910 to 2020.

Class experience

Students will learn about the history of African Americans in the film industry. They will be exposed to movies from the 1970s - 2010s with black centered stories and/or characters. They will learn why representation is important in the film industry and will learn about black actors who paved the way for future actors.
I have been a substitute teacher for six years for pre-k to high school students in all subjects. I am an avid movie fan and love all things film related. I have been an actor and filmmaker for the past seven years and enjoy teaching young people about the movie industry.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Movie Ratings:
Sounder (1972) (rated G) is the movie on the list that is the most stepped in racial injustice. It is set in the 1930s about a sharecropping family. There are a few curse words and there is a scene where a dog gets shot (but does not die). I suggest watching this movie (and all the movies) with your child. This is the heaviest movie assigned for homework. 

Polly (1989) (rated G)

Cinderella (G) (1997)

Cool Runnings (1993) (rated PG). This movie does have mild profanity

Remember the Titans (2000) (rated PG)

Black Panther (2018) (rated PG-13) This is an action packed Marvel superhero movie.
