This ESL friendly class meets weekly to learn about about and discuss animals and their habitats. At each meeting we will learn about a particular region, country or habitat and talk about roughly 4-5 animals including animal classification, fun animal facts and some information about the places and environments they live in. The class will run for a total of 14 sessions and then repeat but students can drop in and out of the sessions as they like. Additional session topics may be added on student special request! The class is designed to be an inclusive space so that kids can get to know each other as well as learn some amazing animals facts along the way and practice their conversation and listening skills with one another. I will call on students during the class but there is no requirement to speak. New learners welcome at any time and students are encouraged to share their own knowledge or experiences with the class. We will cover rainforest habitats and the animals of the Amazon; ocean Animals and animals that live in different levels of the oceans; animals from the African savanna; forest animals of the USA; arctic animals; world's stinkiest animals; weird and wild Australian Animals that may or may not want to kill you; and more... The class will start with some time to warm up with each student invited to share some news then we will move onto the lesson which will combine images, short videos, audio clips, and discussion points.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi I'm Lexi and I am really looking forward to meeting your Outschool learners. I have a BA in Art History/Modern History and a Master of Law. I have a life-long passion for learning and teaching and currently teach art and fibre art workshops out of my home studio. I am a history nerd and I regularly take short courses through the University of Oxford (both online and on campus when I am lucky enough) in various history subjects just for the joy of learning! I'm currently studying Elizabeth I online at Oxford University.
I have a passion for travel and have lived and worked all over the world along with traveling to over 50 countries for pleasure.
I worked in Film and TV for ten years in both Sydney and Los Angeles as an Assistant Director and Producer. I've worked on set on some big movies you may have even heard of like Wolverine and Australia.
I think it's important to keep kids engaged throughout the learning process and I try to balance information with active discussion to keep kids interested. I've got two beautiful girls aged 10 and 12.
All my classes are inclusive and I welcome kids from all walks of life and from all over the world.Reviews
