I have taught this unit for several years as a full-time, certified Elementary and Secondary teacher at the District of Columbia Public Schools. My unique expertise is in developing and teaching content-rich, humanities units that integrate geography, history, literature, science, art, and music. Additionally, I have developed a repertoire of strategies for teaching reading in the content area to intermediate-age students.
Homework Offered
Each weekly selection to be read independently is an average of 1000 words. The selections were written for 5th graders, but the texts are compelling and content-rich such that they would challenge and satisfy the interest of 6th through 8th graders. Assignments are designed to help students engage with the content. The amount of time necessary to complete the assignments will depend on the learner.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
I will provide feedback on all submitted assignments. Completed work can be compiled into a portfolio. If requested I will provide a letter grade and certificate.Grades Offered
