Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 6
Do you have a child that loves to tell stories and wants to share them with others? Or perhaps you have a child that finds it hard to figure out what they could write about and could use some inspiration from others? Or maybe your child just wants a chance to make some great friends while doing a fun activity? Whichever applies to you, this class can help! In it, the students will work in groups to create some stories about what may have happened in a picture that will be provided. The groups will then tell their stories to the others in the class, and then we will discuss them.

Each weekly class will follow the same format (and so there is no specific schedule topic from week to week, just a new picture):

1. The new picture will be introduced (the course picture shows some examples of what kinds of pictures might be used - the exact pictures to be used each week will not be shown until class time to help prevent one group member from coming up with the entire story ahead of time and then just using that story instead of coming up with a story as a group).
2. The students will get into random groups of 2-3 students. 
3. The students will talk with their other group members and come up with a short story related to the picture. (I will be going between the groups to make sure that everything is going well and will give some leading questions if they are having some trouble coming up with something.)
4. We will come together again as a bigger group, and the groups will tell the stories that they made.
5. We will discuss what is similar between the stories and what is different and then come up with some potential reasons why those similarities and differences exist.

Other Details

Supply List
While it is not required for the students to write down their stories (but they may do so if it is easier for them), it is advised that the students bring paper and pencil to make some notes about what key parts of their stories they would like to tell to the class.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Teacher Michelle, and I am absolutely passionate about language learning. When someone knows another language, a whole new world is opened up to them, allowing them to do things such as make new friends, go new places, and learn about the cultures of other people in the world. For the past four years, I have had the pleasure of working in that field, through teaching Chinese students English over another online platform. I hope to continue being able to help children learn the English language here on the Outschool platform because it has been so rewarding seeing the progress each of my students has made throughout their time taking classes with me! In addition to my experience as an ESL teacher, I also have experience with being the parent of a language learner (my children are learning Chinese). I have found this experience incredibly valuable in aiding me in understanding what helps students most and in knowing what kinds of outcomes parents are looking for in these types of lessons.

Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to meeting your child!
