In this class, we will examine nonfiction texts to investigate the wide and exciting contributions that African American men and women made to science, medicine, and technology. Moreover, we will apply literary skills such as fluency, summary, inferences, and connection to modern science. Additionally, students will practice creating tone, engaging audience, and public speaking.  To show their learnings, students will have the opportunity to research a famous black scientist and present their findings to the class during the last session. 

I will use slides, videos, games, nonfiction texts, reading aloud, and independent reading (homework). This class will be taught at upper elementary – middle school level classes.

Minnesota Certificado de Docencia en Artes del lenguaje inglés

Maestría en Inglés desde Western Governors University

Hello! I’m Terry Brown, a dedicated and compassionate K-12 special education teacher based in the Twin Cities area. With a deep love for learning and teaching, I bring energy and patience to every classroom I enter.

I hold an MA in Teaching English Education (Secondary) and an MA in English and Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University, as well as a BA in English from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities. Over the years, I’ve taught English Language Arts at both middle school and high school levels, and I currently teach a variety of courses, including Preschool classes, Upper Elementary and Middle School Literature (both Fiction and Non-Fiction), and Science.

In our time together, my students and I develop critical reading skills, actively analyze age-appropriate texts, and discover how literature connects to the world around us. I specialize in fostering close and active reading strategies—you can bet we’ll be marking up those books! Watching students make meaningful connections to what they read is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.

Outside the classroom, I’m a lifelong learner and passionate writer. I enjoy honing my teaching craft and creating stories—right now, I’m working on a children’s chapter book!

I’m excited to share my love for reading and writing with my students and help them find joy in their learning journeys.
