In this 4-week social class, students will visit my 5-star island and participate in a fashion show. Each week will have a theme for students to compile their own unique outfits to showcase to each other. The themes for this course will be as follows: Week 1: Dress as your favorite villager- students will pick their favorite villager from their island and create outfits based on the villager's personality and game design. Week 2: Seasonal/Holiday-themed- students will pick their favorite holiday or seasonal wear and create outfits based on that season or holiday. Week 3: Formal Night- students will pick their favorite outfits for evening wear or red-carpet attire. Week 4: Outfit that highlights fashion from where you are from- Students will pick outfits that have clothes representing where they're from. IMPORTANT: Students will need the game Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Nintendo Switch Online membership to play over the internet. I will provide a Dodo code each week for students to visit my island. Students will be allowed up to 3 outfits per show and the class will work together to rank the top three for each week. These outfits can be wand outfits or in their bag inventory. Original designs are welcomed and everything is for fun and socializing with other players. Students will be reminded at the beginning of each class to be respectful and kind towards one another. Each student will get the chance to walk down the runway in their 3 outfits. Once the show is over, the students are welcomed to drop their outfits to share with each other for new additions to everyone's game catalogs or give the code for their designs to other players. Students are also welcome to ask questions, share advice, and visit the shops on my island after the show. Also, look for my new Animal Crossing Happy Home Paradise group for more Animal Crossing fun!

Teacher expertise and credentials
About Mrs. Rutan:
My name is Madelynn Rutan and I am a literary enthusiast, lover of cats, pianist, and travel buff. I have been to 14 countries throughout my life and hope to continue to travel even more. I love learning about different cultures, backgrounds, and people which I believe is very important in helping people understand each other. Most of all, I love English. Specifically, I love books, reading, and analyzing literature to expand one’s world and mind. I believe you can travel anywhere and learn anything through books and desire to share these experiences with your children. I mainly hold book discussions and book analysis for my classes through a Socratic seminar approach and mini-lessons. This allows more time for the students to learn from each other, talk about the book, and gain a love of reading with a guided expert. After all, what’s more fun about loving a new book than sharing it with others.
I have read throughout my life and could always be found in a library (including today as volunteer staff at a local library). When I am not teaching or reading, I enjoy watching various anime shows; playing games such as Pokémon, Zelda, and Animal Crossing; sewing, cross-stitching, taking care of my pets and spending time with my husband.
Education:
My love for books led to my bachelor's degree in English language and literature studies from Brigham Young University-Idaho. My expertise includes literary analysis (specifically with British and American Literature) and helping learners read for understanding and enjoyment. I wish to continue my education towards a master's in librarian science to become a librarian to help children find their own love for books.
I also earned a minor in TESOL which included classes on curriculum development, teaching with technology, and teaching philosophy. I tutored for 2 years at my college tutoring center as an ESL, writing, reading strategies, and study skills tutor. I used to teach as an online ESL teacher for kids ages 3-12 before switching to my own ESL and ELA classes here on Outschool since 2020.
Teaching Philosophy:
I value the need for a student-focus classroom and encourage an uplifting atmosphere for my students. I always make sure my students are heard in class and are encouraged to speak their thoughts and ideas. Classes will have a recommended age and content warning of topics discussed or talked about to ensure appropriateness for students within the class. I encourage parents to reach out with questions for any class.
