Welcome to ELA Infused Minecraft Steam Activities 1. 

🎁 Please enjoy this gift from me. Promo Code: STEAMdream10 will gift you $10 towards my high-interest, academics infused into Minecraft, self-paced courses. 

This course contains a large variety of content from 4 engaging Minecraft themed books read aloud for early readers along with a book review option, to my personally created Minecraft video tutorials with EPIC creative challenges for learners within Minecraft, and even many off-screen Minecraft themed writing prompts, Math and art printable activity pages, and problem-solving mazes and Sudoku puzzles that I have created in homeschooling my own Minecrafter and for our class. Learners are encouraged to respond if they wish, posting images/screen recordings/text descriptions, with their grown-up's assistance if needed, of their art/craft/ Minecraft builds.

Learners do not need to be able to read independently, or have copies of the books used, to actively participate in this self-paced course. My courses are interactive, engaging, empowering, and affirming. I am responsive to questions and posts. The only supplies needed are Minecraft Bedrock or Education Edition and an interest in our course topic. I also include printing optional themed activity pages. This is a self-paced, flexible schedule, asynchronous course with no live meetings and extended time is provided by accessing my content through learner transcripts.

My high-interest self-paced courses are fully asynchronous with *no live meetings* to affirm learners to participate in a way that works best for their schedules and strengths, eliminating the stress of rigid schedule times and deadlines of live meetings. My courses are inclusive to multiple learning styles and learner needs, potentially fostering greater engagement. Learners can pause, skip around, and rewatch my Minecraft video tutorials as they wish as well as choosing the tutorials that inspire their interests the most. I respond all learner's posts with specific positive feedback. I am responsive, engaging, inclusive, and empowering. 

Notes: 
*This is a self-paced class with no live class meetings. 

*The books and classes are not official Minecraft products. Not approved by or associated with Mojang.

*The class image was created by me and an AI generated background photo within CanvaPro. 

*All worksheets and materials used in class were created by me, other than the unofficial Minecraft books read each week, which are used with expressed permission from author Anna Kopp.
