Students will need the Magic Tree House book we are discussing that week. The book must be read or listened to BEFORE class. Students can use their own books, library books, ebooks, or even listen to the audio books. If listening to the audiobooks, it is highly recommended that student reads aloud to develop their own reading comprehension and competency.

学習者は、Outschoolが提供する基本ツール以外のアプリやウェブサイトを使用する必要はありません。

 Please be aware that a few Magic Tree House books require parental guidance. These books are “Thanksgiving on Thursday*, “Buffalo Before Breakfast*, and “Shadow of the Shark*. 

These books require critical analysis and the following areas of concern will be addressed in class: inaccurate descriptions of historical events, racism, stereotypes, cultural inaccuracies, harmful and inaccurate descriptions of Native Americans, racist/stereotypical imagery, and biased perspectives. Teacher Carol has a PhD in pedagogy and history, with a Master’s in Cultural Studies. One of my  core values is to teach the true and accurate version of history I was not taught as a child. Racism or racial stereotypes is never acceptable to me, and neither is a white-washed version of American History.
