"Why was this book banned" and "Why should you care?" are two questions I ask in every class. These questions encourage critical thinking and foster an understanding of the power dynamics that can lead to book banning.  Learners will use their critical thinking and reasoning skills as they consider the themes and ideas within the text that may be seen as controversial. This discussion leads to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the book, as well as awareness of the cultural and political contexts during the time the novel was published. Additionally, by asking learners to consider why they should care about a banned book connects the ideas and themes within the text to their own lives and experiences, and to recognize the value of literature as a tool for exploring complex and important issues.

Why are books banned?
Books make it onto the banned or challenged book list for many reasons. Often the book deals with difficult topics including but not limited to: violence, suicide, racism, gender identity, pro/anti religion, witchcraft, teen pregnancy, alcoholism, or profanity. 

𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲:
The class meets every two weeks to allow learners time to read the book prior to class.
To kick off our exploration of each book, the teacher will take learners through a brief summary of the novel, offer insights on the author and their life, along with relevant historical context that influenced the author's work.

During class, learners will be encouraged to share their thoughts and opinions on the themes and ideas presented in the book. Themes such as isolation, friendship, duty, racism, identity, and mortality. We will engage in discussions that will help us delve deeper into the meaning and significance of the text. Learners will also have the opportunity to connect the themes of the book to their own experiences and share how they can apply what they have learned to their daily lives.  The class is a safe and inclusive space where everyone's voice is heard and respected.

To facilitate the discussion, the teacher will ask questions about the themes, such as:
• Is isolation (or solitude) a good thing or a bad thing in the story? Or both?
• This book was written in the late 1940s and published in 1950. What kinds of roles did women play in society at that time?
• Why do you think so many characters in this book desire friendship so badly?

Together we will create our circle of inquiry. A space where we are free to have a difference of opinion. We will practice disagreeing and voicing our opinions with respect towards one another

The below dates are a guideline. 
Books are subject to change due to learner requests. If you are looking for a specific book, Please message the teacher to confirm which book is being read. I run multiple groups and due to learners requests they are not always on the same book. Thank you for your understanding.

𝗥𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆:
I follow Outschool's policy on refunds for ongoing classes: Parents enrolled in an ongoing class will see a “stop subscription” button instead of “withdraw” on the classroom page after the class’s first meeting. Use this button to prevent any future weekly charges, starting with the following billing period, which rolls over Sunday mornings Pacific time. You can use this to stop future charges at any time.  There will be no refunds issued for a student(s) missing class.  

𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆: If your learner misses a class meeting, you are not entitled to a refund. If your learner misses 3 consecutive class live meetings without communicating with the teacher, you forfeit the class fee and the teacher may cancel the class or withdraw your learner.” 

𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆: Please note that per Outschool policy, if there are 0 students after the first 10 minutes of the class, the class will be canceled for that day. The live meetings are scheduled for 50 minutes; however, depending upon the number of students and the amount of participation from the class, some live meetings may be shorter than 50 minutes.  If the teacher needs to cancel class a makeup class will be assigned. If the student is unable to attend the makeup class a refund will be issued after the makeup class.

𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆:
When you enroll your child in my classes, you are paying for a live, interactive group learning experience. To maintain the integrity of this format, I do not release recordings of my live classes.
The decision not to share recordings is to protect the safety and privacy of all learners. Many families prefer that recordings of their children not be made available to others, and I fully respect and prioritize that preference. Additionally, this policy helps safeguard my intellectual property, as the lessons I teach are original content I have personally developed. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for educational materials to be misused or copied without permission.
Thank you for your understanding and support in creating a safe and respectful learning environment.
