Each week, students will engage with the assigned reading through a mix of guided group discussion, short journaling prompts, and creative reflection. Journaling offers students a private space to explore their thoughts, emotions, and connections to the characters and themes — helping them process complex ideas around identity, power, and self-expression. In addition, students will have opportunities to create personalized playlists inspired by the novels and characters, using music as a tool for literary analysis and emotional exploration. These creative assignments are designed to be low-pressure but deeply engaging, encouraging students to connect personally with the material while building critical thinking and communication skills.Certificado de finalización

In this 12-week literature course for readers ages 14–18, students will dive into three unforgettable novels that explore the haunting complexities of girlhood, identity, and isolation. Through themes of obsession, grief, and the desire to belong, we’ll explore how young women are mythologized, misunderstood, and sometimes erased — by others, and even by themselves. Each novel in this course examines the inner lives of girls on the edge: of society, sanity, and selfhood. As we move from suburban tragedy to cult fascination to gothic isolation, we’ll ask: 🌫️ Who gets to tell a girl’s story? 🌫️ What happens when you don’t fit the script you’ve been given? 🌫️ How do we navigate the line between power and madness? Each week, students will take part in guided group discussions, respond to short reflective journal prompts, and create character- and theme-based playlists that bring the emotional lives of these characters into sound. Students will be encouraged to explore voice, perception, and the layers of performance that shape how girls are seen — and how they see themselves. This is a space for deep reading, creative reflection, and meaningful conversation about gender, power, and identity.

Orientación para padres
This course is designed for mature teen readers (ages 14–18) and explores complex themes related to identity, adolescence, mental health, and emotional isolation. The novels selected contain mature subject matter, including death, grief, psychological distress, and themes of gendered violence or power dynamics. These elements are not graphic in nature but are integral to the emotional and thematic depth of the stories.
All classroom discussions will be approached with care, empathy, and sensitivity. Students are not required to share personal experiences and will have space to reflect privately through journaling. The focus of this course is on building understanding, critical thinking, and personal connection to literature.

Experiencia y certificaciones del docente
Maestría en Historia desde University of Colorado at Boulder
As a writer and avid reader with a degree Art History, I’m passionate about helping teens connect deeply with stories that reflect their inner lives — especially ones that highlight strong, complex female voices. I’ve taught writing, literary analysis, and film and art analysis on Outschool for several years, and I specialize in helping young people find meaning in literature that doesn’t shy away from emotional depth.
This course combines my love of young adult fiction, classic literature, and social-emotional learning. My background in both literature and multimedia analysis allows me to guide students through challenging themes — like mental health, identity, grief, and resistance — with empathy and insight.
I’ve created a welcoming and supportive space where learners are encouraged to explore, question, and express themselves. My goal isn’t just to help students analyze a book — it’s to help them feel seen by it, and to connect with others who do too.Reseñas
