Students will improve reading comprehension, critical thinking skills, and learn reading and discussion strategies.

I have taught several African history courses for children between 5-15 years old. I lead several bookclubs for K-5th graders and participate in young adult bookclubs which provides me with the experience needed to move develop children's critical thinking skills while ensuring that they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I understand that this novel and related concepts may be difficult and require extreme care and discretion. Instructor will be sure to navigate discussions carefully and to provide ample time for students to digest, debrief, and reflect on the material. This book is great for the whole family and the teacher highly recommends parents reading alongside or in advance of their child for deeper interaction with the text.

숙제 제공
Homework will vary each week but will always consist of 20-45 pages worth of reading and note taking. Some weeks there will be small additional assignments to accompany the reading. Reading should be done as a family if possible and in short segments to alleviate the workload.
