Class Experience

Each week I will post a discussion and activity prompt, Kahoot self paced challenge, video lesson, and the slides used in the lesson. The students will then record a video of them responding to the discussion prompt and explaining their activity. There will be chances for the students to respond and interact with each other through their collaborative stories created and to comment or ask questions about their work. The Kahoot challenges will test their comprehension and allow them to compete with their classmates. 
Each week the students will need to watch a lesson or videos and read the slides that go with it. They will then need to respond with a video of them responding to my discussion and activity prompt along with a response to a classmate's activity or thoughts.

I have taught 6th grade science and have developed this course in mind to teach my own children whom are 10 and 11 about the evolution of life. I want the students to be able to build a community and share their ideas about a topic they love with other students, no matter how busy or what time zone they live in.
