1 hour per week. Homework will be simple drawings, interacting in the classroom through commenting and posting, as well as creating short videos to present their homework or to speak on their homework. Homework should never take too long when assigned. The great thing about self paced classes is students are able to complete the work when it is convenient for them!Assessment
Learners are informally assessed throughout the class time through their posts, comments and homework assignments.Class Experience
US Grade 1 - 4
Beginner Level
For our self paced class, students will receive a video recording of the lesson and an assignment to complete for each lesson. Topics we will cover are how to read a compass rose, cardinal directions, directional words used to describe how to get to a location, how to tell East and West apart via the sun, plus we get to go on a field trip and play a game together! Please see the syllabus for more! Lauren
Learning Goals
Students will begin to learn how to read a map, create their own map, key and apply these skills through games, videos, and creating art related projects to post in the classroom. They will also build a great classroom community of friends!

Lesson 3:
Landforms
We will take a quick quiz to see how many landforms we can spot in the images provided. Since it's clipart, I accept two answers per image. We also discuss why knowing what landforms are and what significant roles they play which means they should be important to everyone.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Education from Western Carolina University
I struggled with telling, reading and understanding directions for so long! The classes I had growing up did not focus on geography enough (in my opinion). I do not want students coming up today to have the same struggles. I have created these classes as a means to pass along what I have learned and found most interesting about geography. I hope to create a series of these classes for many age ranges so be sure to follow for updates!
