The book "The Outsiders" contains scenes of language and violence. While these elements are present, Hinton does not glorify them, but uses them in the analysis of the characters, the setting, and the plot. The book is a coming-of-age story that emphasizes characters from different walks of life, their decisions, and the impact of those decisions.

The book "The Diary of a Young Girl" by Anne Frank is the diary of a young Jewish girl hiding from the Nazis during WW2.  Although the events within the diary offer a limited glimpse of the horrors inflicted on Jewish people by the Nazis, there is an element of fear throughout and references to historical events that, once explored, indicate the cruel reality of the period known as the Holocaust. Also, depending on what edition of the book the learner reads, there are some scenes and references to teenage romantic feelings and hopes.

The book "Farewell to Manzanar" is a memoir by a young Japanese-American woman who was placed in an internment camp for Japanese people during WW2. This book contains potentially disturbing scenes like details about violent events including WW2 battles and bombings,  a family fight, and a riot in the camp in which rocks and tear gas are used and several men are shot. This story is told from the memory and viewpoint of a young girl, and referencing this information allows for a faithful retelling of her experience. 

We will be using several third-party platforms in the class. 
Nearpod (nearpod.com)- Learners will NOT have to create an account for Nearpod. Nearpod allows teachers to make PowerPoint presentations interactive where the learner can type answers, drag and drop items around the screen, and play games to learn the information. Learners will be able to access the activity via a link that I share. Screengrabs or videos of information shared on Nearpod may be included in the class material. 

Padlet (padlet.com) - Learners will NOT have to create an account for Padlet. Padlet is a virtual bulletin board where learners can write a response to material, or even share graphics. Learners will be able to access the activity via a link that I share. Screengrabs or videos of information on Padlet may be included in the class material. 

Edpuzzle (edpuzzle.com) - Learners will NOT have to create an account for Edpuzzle. Edpuzzle is a tool that allows teachers to pause a video at specific points so a question can be asked on the screen. The video will progress once the student answers the question. Learners will be able to access the activity via a link that I share. Screengrabs or videos of information on Edpuzzle may be included in the class material. 

Flipgrid (flipgrid.com) -  Learners will NOT have to create an account for Flipgrid. Flipgride is a tool that allows learners to video record themselves leaving a short message or response to a question. Other learners in the class can respond to the messages. Only the teacher and other learners in the class will have access to these messages. Learners will be able to access the activity via a link that I share.

This course contains videos that I create. I house them on a hidden playlist on YouTube. Any YouTube videos used in this course are created by me and focus on course content.
