Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 6
In this multi-day class, students should come prepared, having already recently read a book they can write a report on. Through hands-on class assignments and practical examples, we will explore many different book reporting options such as compare/contrast, real world implications, hero/heroine point of view, etc. We will touch on the intricacies of oral book reports and how they differ from written book reports, but our emphasis will be on the written. The class format will be much like a workshop, where learners are busy the majority of the time. There will be homework.

Week 1a - Overview of different types of book reports and exercises in compare/contrast reporting
Week 1b - Looking at a book through the eyes of the hero/heroine. How does this make the story unique?
Week 2a - Ways to make an oral book report more intriguing. In-class oral reporting on a short story.
Week 2b - Review of our written reports so far. Feedback from teacher and fellow students.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi there! My name is Ms Cher, and I can't wait to meet you. I love gardening, wildlife, and just about anything related to nature. I am a certified Master Gardener, a National Wildlife Federation Habitat Steward, and a National Wildlife Federation Monarch Steward. I love to share my excitement about the natural world with classes on subjects like bird watching, nature crafts, herb gardening, Monarch butterflies, and more!

I have years of experience teaching workshops for kids in Girl Scouts and 4-H ... I've even taught babysitting and basic first aid classes for the American Red Cross. 

I am a past high school forensics coach for one of the largest high school campuses in Michigan. I have coached many state finalists, as well as a state champion. I have judging credentials at the tournament, District and State Competition levels. Although my main duties were coaching public address competitors, I have coached dozens of interpretive competitors as well. I am a past member of the NFL, or National Forensics League - a nationwide organization that gives high school students the opportunity to polish their speaking skills and compete in regulated National tournaments. 

I am also a writer of non-fiction, with well over 1000 published articles for entities such as Yahoo News, Home Depot, Quaker Oats, Curves, and many more.

I believe the best way for young people to learn is through games and hands-on activities, and I try to build those into each class I offer.

I love music in any form and am a proficient flutist. I have given flute lessons to dozens of students over the years and plan to begin giving lessons here on Outschool as well.

Oh - and I'm a Pokemon Go expert - Level 48!

Academically, I hold a BSBA in Marketing, and an AAS in Environmental Science.
