Class experience
US Grade 9 - 12
*Please note: Due to the student-led discussion format of this class, the smallest size that will work well is 4 students. I will cancel the class if fewer than 4 students enroll. Invite your friends! That said, the class will not work well with more than 8 students. I will keep a firm cap on the limit as well, in order for everyone to have the best possible educational experience. Q: What Are Literature Circles? A: In literature circles, small groups of students gather together...
This specific course is geared toward higher level thinking. Each literature circle role is directly connected to the 11 elements of critical thinking: big ideas, rules, trends, patterns, language of the discipline, ethics, relationships over time, details, unanswered questions, across disciplines and multiple perspectives. Students will rotate through these roles, experiencing six of them in total.
*Note: The instructor of this course is not part of an Indigenous People group. This course is focused on a study of the text. Please see my Instructor Profile for more details on my professional background, experience and ongoing professional development coursework.
Homework Offered
You will be asked to read approximately 35 pages per week and complete your one page "job" in order to be ready to present to the group each week.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
I will be taking notes each week on a rubric that allows me to assess your overall participation and the completion and depth of your assigned weekly role. This can be shared with your parents upon request.Grades Offered
Documents provided by instructor, printed off by students or competed digitally using Google Sheets. A copy of the text for the duration of the class. (Please make sure it is the YOUNG READERS version of the text.) https://www.amazon.com/Killers-Flower-Moon-Adapted-Readers/dp/0593377370/ref=sr_1_1?crid=25WJSL0W5LZMW&keywords=killers+of+the+flower+moon+adapted+for+young+readers&qid=1694897445&sprefix=killers+of+the+flower+moon+for+young%2Caps%2C144&sr=8-1#detailBullets_feature_div
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
The overall themes of racism, exploitation, corruption, white entitlement, avarice, family, and legacy carrying trauma, as well as the truths and lies in the told history, are all present throughout the text. This book is for a mature high school reader. Some students might feel sensitive to some of the difficult topics that will be discussed, including but not limited to genocide, land theft, marginalization and the general mistreatment of Indigenous People Groups. Outschool and this instructor are very committed to treating this content with integrity, respect and sensitivity toward those who find this content difficult to consume. Please give Outschool and this instructor constructive feedback on any areas for improvement in regard to managing this learner and content sensitivity.
