Learners will be introduced to the tradition of telling stories, passed down from generation to generation within the African-American culture. This class helps students comprehend various styles of traditional stories created throughout the African diaspora. Exposing students to the culture through selected stories, they are able to enhance their understanding of African American traditions.

I am a certified teacher with specialized training in reading interventions, diverse learners, and facilitating groups for students of all ages.
