In this ongoing course students will be researching, reading and writing about African people, concepts, and places throughout ourstory and the diaspora. Often times, English/Language Arts classes only focus on texts from European/European American figures. Our children deserve to learn from the mothers and fathers of written language itself. This is an ongoing course, students can hop in and begin their research or leave at any time. Meeting once per week, students will get step-by-step instruction on how to craft their research papers. We will be writing in the styles of explanatory, persuasive, critical analyses, and more. Once a student joins, they will choose a topic of their interest as it pertains to African people. Each class after the initial brainstorm will go into specific mechanics of research, such as: finding sources, creating a thesis statement, properly citing and quoting, formatting (MLA), developing ideas, transition words/phrases, counterarguments, and more. The goal is to get students to produce a 2-4 page essay for each topic that we go through. For the best experience, students should anticipate being enrolled for a minimum of 4 weeks in order to fully develop their paper and get the necessary instruction needed. 

The following is a breakdown of possible topics and the progression of each topic monthly:
September-October: Afrikan arts or sciences
November-December: Kwanzaa concepts


*EXAMPLE WEEKLY BREAKDOWN FOR EACH PAPER*
Week of 10/11   Brainstorm topic, create thesis statement, begin research
Week of 10/17    Begin outline, continue research, find supporting quotes & add comments
Week of 10/24    Complete Introduction paragraph, create topic sentences, convert comments to complete sentences

Week of 11/14  Conclusion paragraph, bibliography

Orientación para padres
Students will be reading from a variety of African/Black authors and topics. Some topics may be sensitive regarding the history of African people. Instructor will provide ample support for more difficult topics and take care to provide students with resources to continue their learning and processing outside of class time. Instructor understands that some topics may bring up personal experiences for students and will respect student decisions not to share during these times. Parents will need to approve of sources that students find on their own and approve of any materials they use in research

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Maestría en Educación desde Grand Canyon University
I am well versed in African history, literature, and psychology texts. I am an African descendant and spend my free time researching about African people. I've taught a variety of African history, writing, reading and science classes to students as young as 5 years old, and understand that some topics may be sensitive and should be navigated with care and expertise. I seek to provide students with factual evidence of African achievements in the hopes that they learn more about themselves and others all over the world. It is my goal that students learn more about African culture and develop ways to share this with others
