I am happy to provide a narrative-style grade report based on the student's mastery, effort and classroom decorum. I am also able to provide an alternate grade option as need.

>>THIS CLASS REQUIRES THE TEXT- PLEASE VISIT THE SUPPY TAB FOR BOOK INFO. IT ALSO REQUIRES THAT LEARNERS READ ASSIGNED PAGES, GENERALLY 4-6PAGES BEFORE OUR MEETING AND ANSWER WEEKLY READING QUESTION ON NEARPOD.<<

Turns out, reading history is a community activity. 
It is best done slowly, with an open notebook, a dictionary, a few textbooks and, of course, Wikipedia! 

Sound interesting? 

Our classroom is actually a learning community, in which everyone bring valuable perspectives, life experiences, questions and insight to bear as we work our way through a text. 

Our Slow and Careful book for this class is  
Black AF History : The Un-Whitewashed Story of America by Michael Harriot. It has a narrative style that feels like you are hearing about key points in American history over sweet potato pie in Big Mama's kitchen. It meanders through time like the Suwannee River- definitely not in a straight line. If you enjoy thinking about history by looking at events from several points of view and if you like to think about the cause and effect of events or people on the larger story, you will enjoy this book and our class.

Expectations
Learners are required to come to class prepared each time because we are doing serious knowledge work. The minimum preparation includes the following:
1. **Carefully** read the required pages, generally 4-8. No skimming! 
2. Take notes from the reading. The notes should include thoughts/questions, a detailed list of people and events, and the main ideas of the text.
3. Choose two selections for discussion. 
4. Complete weekly questions in Nearpod.

Your decision to enroll in this class is also your commitment to the study. Our community only works if everyone arrives prepared and ready to engage.

Please see the Syllabus for a week-by-week overview of the class.
Metas de aprendizaje
Students will gain factual knowledge about noteworthy events in American history to include dates, locations, and people as well as the cause and effects.
Students will learn how to read nonfiction works for knowledge and critique. Skills include note-taking, fact checking and information synthesis.

I am excited to bring this class to Outschool. In addition to my education- my undergraduate (History- Hampton University) and graduate (U.S. History- Southern Methodist University) and my classroom experience (teaching college lower-division level African-American History) I also bring a wealth of interdisciplinary study and experiences to this space. I look forward to sharing my passion for understanding African American experiences through history, literature, music, cinema, food, sport, and institutions.
