In this class, students will embark on an enriching journey through a selection of timeless classics. Through thoughtful analysis, they will delve into the intricacies of character traits, symbolism, plot, and settings, among other elements, unlocking deeper meanings within the texts. Engaging in group discussions, students will not only enhance their interpersonal skills but also gain diverse perspectives as they explore the novels with their peers. Additionally, they will develop the valuable skill of summarizing what they have read, honing their ability to articulate the essence of the stories in concise and meaningful ways.
I have been teaching on Outschool since June 2020, and throughout my classes, we have delved into important topics that fall under the umbrella of diversity. These include women's rights, race, gender, ethnic background, LGBTQ+ issues, and many more. Classic novels are no exception to these discussions. Like history itself, classic novels provide glimpses into different times and contexts. When exploring these works, I approach them with care and a recognition of our present-day perspectives. In my teaching, I have covered subjects such as the Civil War, the Holocaust, women's rights, and many other significant events and movements. My aim is always to consider the needs and experiences of each and every student, ensuring that our discussions are inclusive and respectful to all. I believe in fostering an environment that nurtures the growth and understanding of all my students. If you have any specific concerns or questions, please feel free to reach out to me. I am dedicated to providing a positive and enriching educational experience for everyone.
Homework Offered
Students are required to read the designated graphic novel for the upcoming week. It is important to note that the length of these novels may vary, so it is advisable to manage your time accordingly.

Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
Students will need to have a physical or digital copy of the books to participate in the class discussions. Most of these books should be attainable through your local library. I have included the ISBN's for all books in the class description. Please plan ahead when joining this class. We do not read the books in class.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Classic novels encompass a diverse range of characters and situations, exploring various themes. While most books maintain a respectful tone, a small number may contain instances of violence, murder, profanity, race-related content, mild sexual content, or include the use of offensive language like the N-word (e.g., To Kill a Mockingbird). Additionally, graphic novels may depict fighting with blood and death in the artwork. In our classroom discussions, we may address important topics such as racism, sexism, and discrimination, always ensuring age-appropriate handling of these subjects. I want to emphasize that my classrooms provide safe, respectful, and supportive environments for all students. If you or your students have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me via email. I am committed to responding promptly and addressing any inquiries or issues that arise. As a proactive measure, I have included trigger warnings for specific books to ensure students are aware of potentially sensitive content.
