Teaching Experience
Student Intern, Fayetteville High School
​Curated seven weeks of curriculum for an AP US History/Honors English Block class. This curriculum was designed around student interest and historically relevant curriculum. The first unit was structured around a multimodal nonfiction writing assignment that grounded student expression, exploration, and ideas within the Arkansas State Standards. The second unit was designed around a historically accurate reading of A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry. This unit was created to accompany the AP US History curriculum and develop their disciplinary literacies within both subjects.
