This class is taught in English.

I have been teaching on Outschool for three years and teach novels of similar topics frequently. I am a certified secondary education teacher in English who has been teaching for 10 years.  I have taught this novel in public education multiple times before transitioning to Outschool full time. The coursework for the novel included adaptable and modified education and honors-level work through AVID training, Advanced Placement training, and cultural training through my school district. Below is a list of a couple of those classes with similar topics, concerns, and focuses to Things Fall Apart so that you can see how I run these courses and reviews from parents on those courses as well.

A resource that we will work with through this novel is the following:
Reading Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart from the Postcolonial
Perspective by Md. Mahbubul Alam
Lecturer of English, Adhdhapak Rafiqul Islam Academy and College
Gazipur, Bangladesh.

This article can be found linked as an external resource below! As is stated in this article, "Achebe’s novel shatters the stereotypical European portraits about the native Africans. By unfolding the devastating effects of colonialism on the life of the Igbo people in Things Fall Apart Chinua Achebe has successfully made a comprehensible demarcation between the pre-colonial and the colonial Igboland. By setting these two periods opposite to each other Achebe demonstrates the value and authenticity of the Igbo traditions in a more unambiguous manner. His strategy of differentiation between the pre-colonial and the colonial well suits his purpose of writing back by rewriting the history of the lost traditions and culture of the Igbo".
