Welcome to women in literature! If you have a passion for reading, learning about incredible women through history, and discussing different aspects of literature, then come and join us! We will learn about women writers from different genres, time periods, and writing styles. What inspired them to write? What was their process? Why was writing important to them? This class will be taught through recorded lectures and may also include supplemental videos (Youtube), readings, worksheets, and activities (recipes, movies, dioramas, experiments, etc.). Please see the syllabus below for a layout of the lessons included in this course. This class is presented in an asynchronous format. If you are taking this class through the Class Subscriptions, there will be no communication between learner and myself. If you are taking this class through the Self-Paced format, you will have 1 year to complete the lessons. If you choose to submit homework or communicate (questions on the classroom page), I will respond within 24 hours (excluding Sundays).
Learning Goals
Students will read and learn about different women in literature. We will talk about the themes of the stories and the lives of the writers. We will also discuss how literature can shape a culture and impact society.
Students will be responsible for weekly written assignments, which will include reviews of short videos on Youtube, reading short passages or articles, and exploring their own literary voice.
Our goals for this class are to:
Write about what we learn through a traditional essay format.
Use primary sources and different types of media (such as film and art) to learn about historical events.
Learn about historical events through the context of geography and how it affected different events.
Research, organize, and present their research on various topics, events, and figures.
Discuss topics while focusing on using specific details, facts, and reasons to support their opinions.
Use technology to research both past and current events and topics.
To be able to construct arguments and rebuttals
Recognized Inequities and their causes
Understand differences between present and past perspectives, and apply it to present day issues

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from Louisiana State University
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, organization, reading, and learning. You can usually find me in the middle of 2-3 books or watching a documentary.
I am also an Outschool ACE Educator, which means that I continually seek out ways to improve my teaching skills and knowledge, as well as the learner experience. Some of the seminars/courses that I have attended in the past are: Foundations for Teaching and Learning About Native Americans; The Presence and Absence of Asian America: What Truths Lie Beyond the Headlines; Using the “Diary of Anne Frank” to Amplify Students’ Voices; Painting a Just Picture – Art and Activism.
