Fascinating Animals of the World! (Ongoing)

This is a series of live classes where students will be able to learn about interesting animals all around the world (that perhaps they have never heard of previously!). The types of animals that we will focus on are: birds, reptiles, fish, mammals, and amphibians. Each week has 8 animals that will be taught (they can be from any or all of the categories above). There are eight lessons for this series. The lessons can be joined at anytime, and we will be rotating back to the first lesson when we finish the eighth. The lessons are $13 each. Geography will be integrated as we discuss where these animals live, but geography is not the class’s main focus. The students will learn about the animals themselves, and they will also learn about vocabulary and topics, such as, mammal, amphibian, reptile, fish, bird, endangered, extinct, vulnerable, habitat loss, conservation, camouflage, habitat, geography, etc. Each week, there will be a Quizlet activity that the students have the option to participate in on the classroom page. I will stay responsive to the classroom comments and discussions. Below is an overview of the animals that learners will be learning about each week.
