**If you don't see a suitable section, please feel free to request a time that works for you!** In this ongoing class, students will get creative while learning about revolutionary African/Black women. Each class, learners will learn about and discuss the impact of an African/Black woman in history. Instead of lecturing and taking notes, students will take what they learn from each lesson and create a pop-up art book dedicated to that special woman. Ms. Sydney will show students different...
Students will learn about African/Black women in history from ancient to modern times while also learning pop-up art style techniques.
I have taken multiple African History courses, African Psychology courses, and studied this material scrupulously. I've taught these difficult subjects and more to groups as young as 6 years old, and understand the process of unlearning what we were taught in public school. I seek to provide students with the tools and resources they need to think critically rather than tell them what and when to think. These classes, though mixed with art and creativity, are evidence based meaning I use text and other documents to support the concepts mentioned in sessions. If a student or parent ever have any questions, I am more than happy to answer to the best of my knowledge and can provide any materials needed for the given topics.
Homework Offered
optional: Learners may complete additional practice on each woman after each session if they would like to learn more.Assessments Offered
informal assessment; in class activitiesGrades Offered
Each class learners will need -pencil/eraser -any colors (markers, crayons, colored pencils, construction paper) -scissors -glue -cardstock paper and/or blank white printer paper (at least 3 sheets per session) -ruler or edge of textbook
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
- Google Slides
Scissors and glue will be used each class The content will discuss history from a decolonized, African-centered view. This will allow the African women that we discuss to be active history makers rather than passive objects to be observed. Ms. Sydney takes care to explain historical content in an age-appropriate way that highlights the truth rather than opinion in order to allow students to form their own ideas about these concepts. Some historical topics are harsh, and brutal, but nonetheless should be discussed in an appropriate manner. Ms. Sydney will ensure that students get most questions answered during sessions and will provide extra resources for students to continue their learning on their own.
