An introduction to the continent of Africa! We will learn all about the diverse people’s, landscapes, animals and history of Africa! The lesson will include: - Some African history e.g. Ancient Egypt, European arrival, African Kingdoms, Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade - A Traditional African story - Learning about the animals of Africa - Learning about all the different people and tribes of Africa - Learning about African cities - Traditional African Music There will be a lot of discussion, especially focused on students comparing what they knew and thought about Africa before the beginning of the class, compared to afterwards. All students will have to opportunity to offer their opinions on the topic, this is how we foster amazing Critical Thinkers, able to handle anything the world throws at them! My teaching style is fun and engaging but with substance, I believe young ones can deal with ideas previously seen as 'complex', if they are exposed in the correct way. My classes are about discussion, so we will be discussing everyone's perspectives and using power point slides! No previous knowledge required! Especially great class for kids who ask a lot on questions, beginning to focus their Critical Thinking Skills in an academic fashion.
Learning Goals
Gaining a new perspective on the continent Africa!

Hello! I'm Sorrel. I’m passionate about Myths, Legends and Philosophy.
With a Master's in Psychology and a Bachelor's in Philosophy and History, I've always approached teaching with a twist.
My aim? To create curiosity and to help hone the analytical prowess of young minds.
For more than 3.5 years, I've had the privilege to teach on Outschool, delving into ancient tales and philosophical wonders alongside students from diverse backgrounds. what I cherish and enjoy the most is introducing young minds to college and university-level concepts.
It's incredible to see these young learners not only comprehend but often excel beyond our expectations, and master many profound concepts
For me, education transcends facts alone. It's about equipping learners to stand confident in their beliefs, challenging norms, thinking critically, and truly believing in the might of their intellect.
So, why join me in this educational adventure?
Empowerment: Every lesson is tailored to kindle self-belief and confidence.
A Holistic Experience: While we dissect intellectually stimulating ideas, we always make room to introspect on our emotional resonance.
Fresh Perspectives: I'm here to offer a fresh take, shattering conventional bounds and encouraging innovative thought.
Revitalised Learning: I'm determined to show that even the most 'stuffy' subjects can be exhilarating, enlightening, and deeply enriching.
With me, learning is not just about information; it's a holistic journey of knowledge, wisdom, and wellbeing. Let's embark on this transformative experience together!Reviews
