It is my hope that this course will help to broaden and deepen a student’s understanding of the concept of being a citizen of the world, while sharpening their reading, writing, and thinking skills.  This course is designed as a prelude to college level courses which require critical thinking, reading beyond the obvious and insight into multicultural literature.

As a homeschool parent, I have taught my children these key authors. I have also worked with a wide variety of young writers from different cultures. I have also served on an antiracist board and racial reconciliation team at two nonprofits. Presently, my young homeschooling children continue to enjoy these authors.
