Class Experience

[Note: I do not accept learners outside the listed age range. If your child is 6, 7 or 8 please enroll them in the class for that age range: https://outschool.com/classes/developing-conversation-skills-IyecxTJ9#usGFopJMDG];  If your child is 13 through 18, please enroll them in my teen course: https://outschool.com/classes/teen-conversation-skills-tHTI1vQV#usGFopJMDG
 
This course introduces students to the art of conversation using friendly characters.  Your student will learn and practice what to say when he meets someone for the first time.  She will also discover and practice how to keep the conversation going.  Finally, your student will be able to end the conversation appropriately. 

By the end of this introductory course, students will have the tools they need to create winning conversations with children of all ages.  They will feel as confident starting a conversation with a new child in the neighborhood as they will feel having a conversation with their grandma and grandpa at the next family gathering.  

During the class, we will use discussion, pair-sharing, games, and slides to practice the different parts of a conversation.  Students will be assisted as needed to help them become comfortable.  A downloadable worksheet will be provided to help reinforce at home what was practiced in class.  Note: [This class requires a significant amount of verbal interaction between your child, the teacher, and other learners.] 

The materials section below will describe what is needed for this class.

I offer group discounts (subject to schedule availability). Please let me know if you are interested in this class being offered to a group of 6 or more learners.
[***Transfers will not be made within 24 hours of the class start time.  No exceptions.***]

Other Details

Parental Guidance
[Note: I do not accept learners outside the listed age range.] Parents, would you be able to ensure your child's microphone is set up appropriately? It is extremely frustrating for the kids when I have to repeatedly ask them to speak louder. In addition, it is fine for you to be in the room and not on-screen; however, would you be able to refrain from talking to your child during class. It is distracting when I am trying to have a discussion with them or give them instructions. Thanks, in advance, for your help! NOTES: 1) Parents always ask if my conversation classes are appropriate for their children. My answer is that your child should have an opportunity to practice his or her social skills and this is a safe place to do that. Their social skills will not improve if they are not given opportunities to use them. 2) This class will be taught to single learners. If you would rather your child was in a class with other learners, please contact me. 3) [***Transfers will not be made within 24 hours of the class start time. No exceptions.***]
Supply List
Students will need access to a microphone (built-in computer mic is fine) and camera to allow for practice and interaction during class.  The student must be visible on the screen at the start of class. Virtual backgrounds cannot be used in this class. At the end of class, a worksheet will be provided for students to practice conversations at home.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
