I have been an educator on Outschool since February of 2018. I have my MBA and MHA, both of which have taught me the value of conducting research and asking questions. I have a passion for history and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
There may be some Youtube videos that are seen during this class. I will share my screen and learners will not need to access them on their own. This class will discuss the legends around the Mothman. We will watch interviews with people who claim to have seen him and learn about some of the tragic events surrounding those sightings. In this class, we will not be taking the approach that the Mothman is real. Instead, we will be discussing the various events in history that surround this legend and how the story has grown. All discussions will be at an age appropriate level.
