Description
Class Experience
Each week students will learn about a person, event, or concept from United States history, using age-appropriate texts. A variety of cultures and concepts are explored that will shine light on America's past. When possible, I encourage learners to make connections from the past with present issues. A typical session will include 1. book reading, as listed below; 2. discussion of key facts; and 3. an activity to solidify understanding and provide some fun. Activities might include...
1. Gain a better knowledge and understanding of the diverse histories of the United States. 2. Engage with texts that support reading and listening skills, as well as broadening vocabulary. 3. Skills in interacting with other students in discussion of books and ideas.
I have 20 years teaching experience, engaging with students from ages 4 to adults. My interactions with elementary and middle school students as a school librarian fuel my excitement in offering this class. My education and teaching positions provide my extensive knowledge of American history and culture. I also have a doctorate in American studies with a focus on issues of race, ethnicity, and social justice, and I have taught classes on these issues to hundreds of students over the years.
No assigned homework.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
- Google Classroom
- Kahoot!
45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
