Learners will learn about themes, characterization, foreshadowing, and plot.  They will also have an understanding of the historical importance of the Great Depression and the Jim Crow era.  Learners will also learn about the author and the correlation of her life and the novel.  The sensitive topic of racial discrimination will be discussed to help learners understand the importance of equality among humans.  I will also be teaching the biographical information of the author Harper Lee at the beginning of the class to allow the learners to understand who wrote the book to gain a better connection. 

I have over 10 years experience teaching literature in a traditional classroom as well as virtually. I have taught this novel to hundreds of learners throughout the years.   This includes both secondary education and college level.   I hold a degree in education with a  focus in English.  Through my experience in teaching to different age groups and learning capacities, I am able to cover many areas of learning through this novel.
