Deeper Roots
This online 12-week class shares our influence across History and provides an in-depth literature study on either books or essays written by our esteemed ancestors. Our Deeper Roots program allows students to exercise their voice, engage in healthy debate, dissect arguments and literature, and learn how to write to express themselves. The students will learn:
Our History: This Revolution covers the true story of how our ancestors in Africa were uprooted from their glorious homeland to endure capture, brutality, and discrimination. We tell the story of the resilient, strong, and marvelously brilliant ancestors as we approach American History from our perspective. Join us for this journey as we explore the complexities of our past and create pathways for the future success of our global community.
Literature Study: Students will read assigned literary works of art, engage in class discussion, exercise reasoning, and compose short essays to express their opinions or critiques. The youth are encouraged to show leadership and initiative during each class.
** Students are required to maintain assignments via Google Classroom using a link provided after registration. Parents are welcome to join the Google Classroom separately to stay abreast of the assignment load and continue/broaden discussion outside of class. Some assignments will include essays, videos, or presentations, yet all assignments will be uploaded and given a rubric to assess student progress.
