This is a four week long Dungeons and Dragons campaign that will take place on a steamy jungle island where the players have shipwrecked. Can they fend off the island's ferocious denizens while also unraveling its mysteries? They'll have to if they ever want to return home! Sequels to this campaign are also available. Characters will level up once at the end of this adventure. This adventure is great for students who: 1) Students with any level of experience in D&D 2) Students who love solving mysteries 3) Students who enjoy wacky magical effects 4) Students who look forward to fighting a variety of monsters In four one and a half hour long sessions, students will practice the many skills that Dungeons and Dragons hones - creativity, problem solving, critical thinking, teamwork, leadership, public speaking, and the ability to perform quick mental math calculations. This campaign uses the D&D 5th edition rules. Students should have a 4th or 5th level character ready prior to the start of class. If a student needs minor assistance creating a character, I'm happy to help through the Outschool messaging system or through email. If more help is needed than can be given that way, I suggest taking my Character Creation class (please let me know in advance and I'll create a class listing that works for your schedule). I will provide students with the D&D Players Basic Rules and blank character sheets. Students should have dice to use during class time, or their parents/guardians can give them access to an online dice roller. They should also have a pencil to use during class. Please note: students will be expected to cooperate with each other in class. Students are discouraged from playing characters with an evil alignment. Player vs. Player combat is not allowed.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been a homeschooling mother for 19 years to four children with very different learning styles. I have taught countless classes to homeschoolers over the years, ranging from Latin to art history to astrophysics. I've also assisted students in leading their own educational groups, such as book clubs and social justice clubs. For four years, I traveled the United States full-time in an RV with my family; we visited 46 states and enjoyed everything from viewing amazing wildlife in National Parks to entertainment and great food in some of the biggest cities. We've now settled down near the beach in sunny Florida.
I believe in meeting children where they are and tailoring their education to fit their needs. I believe that the best education a child can have is an education they feel they have ownership of. Children learn and retain information best when the subject has personal relevance to them and when they are guided towards their own discovery of knowledge. One of my favorite things about teaching here on Outschool is watching children grow in confidence and learn through play.
Dungeons and Dragons is one of my favorite hobbies - I love everything about it, from writing stories and reading lore to painting miniatures and making detailed digital maps to laughing with my learners and being surprised by their creativity. I love other games as well - if it's not D&D night at my home, we play video games (Gartic Phone and Mario Kart are current favorites) or board games.
Creating a safe, affirming, and anti-racist classroom is my biggest priority. Whether students identify as LGBTQ+, neurodiverse, socially anxious, or if they need support in any other way, I provide gentle encouragement and the space for them to be themselves while having fun.
