Short Story Discussion Class - Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut
Class experience
As a longtime teacher, I thoroughly enjoy helping young people enjoy good stories.

Students will gain comfort speaking in front of others, specifically around sharing their opinions. They will build their critical thinking skills and learn how to be supportive of others.
I've been a certified teacher for over 30 years, including being the founder of a progressive middle & high school in Seattle (in 1994). I have a warm way of engaging with students who typically come away feeling cared for after attending one of my classes.

Homework Offered
Students need to read the assigned story before the class session so they come ready to talk about it. The story is very short and shouldn't take the average middle/high school reader much more than 30-45 minutes to read it, probably less.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
