I am a licensed social studies educator (NC Teaching License) with a M.Ed. in Secondary Social Studies education. I am also a homeschooling mom. I have over fifteen years of experience teaching a variety of social studies topics including the history of many marginalized groups and other stories that are often not told in mainstream history courses. 

I was inspired by reading Farewell to Manzanar and am excited to share this story with learners. I believe that reading the book is a great way for students to explore the many important topics surrounding World War 2 and Japanese Internment in the United States while looking at the experience from the lens of someone who was their age at the time. 

Over the past three years I have been homeschooling my son, who has dyslexia, so I am familiar with the unique challenges faced by dyslexic learners. All students, including those with reading challenges, are welcome in this course and can access the text via audiobook or a combination of audiobook and text. While there will be written notes and information presented in our live class meetings, I will go over this information orally and with multimedia resources as well.

Between classes learners will need to complete assigned readings in the book. The assigned readings will be anywhere from 40-50 pages per week. On average, students can typically complete this amount of reading in around 60-90 minutes per week. There is an audiobook option available. This is a dyslexia-friendly course. Students who need longer to read have the option to complete all or some of the assigned reading by audiobook.
