Class Experience
Students are expected to significantly improve vocabulary, context clue awareness and achieve growth in reading comprehension. These skills will greatly influence the performance on the vocabulary section of the PSAT, SAT, ACT, and state testing.
At the end of class, students will receive a pdf of the words and slides that were shared during the lesson. The last two slides contain the optional challenge assignments. Students may send me their responses for feedback. Note, I highly recommend that the students complete these assignments. This will significantly improve their mastery of identifying context clues and will subsequently broaden their vocabulary.
None However, many students find that creating their own "dictionary" with each of their new words is a great study guide. A simple composition book from the dollar store is a great choice.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
*** Informal & Formative assessments are a natural part of my interactive teaching style. INTERACTIVES & ASSESSMENTS - Students will be assessed in a variety of ways: ~ Through interactive in-class participation ~ Kahoot!
50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Students should have access to Kahoot! ~ Per Children Privacy Policy, U.S. students under 13 and non-U.S. students under 16 have the following limits: They cannot sign in with email (must use username or Apple, Google, or Microsoft) Suggestion: A Gmail designated explicitly for your learner makes this process easier.
Students should have access to Kahoot!
