In this one-time course, students will become text detectives! Students will find the evidence from the Valentine's Day themed passages to prove their answers. This class uses an active reading strategy of color-coding answers from the passage. Referring back to the text in order to support an answer is an important skill for readers to learn. To prove basic comprehension skills, we will read the short passage and underline in the text (with a colored pencil or crayon) where learners find their answers. Color-coding helps students to organize their thinking. Students will also write their answers using complete sentences. During the class, I will be displaying the passage on the screen. However, students will benefit the most from this activity if they print their own copy of the passage so that they can actively color-code the answers.
Learning Goals
Students will demonstrate the ability to write answers in complete sentences.
Students will be able to prove their answers by referring back to the text.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Savannah Ward. I'm so excited to be teaching on Outschool!
I have a Bachelor's degree in Social Work and a minor in Psychology. I have a wide range of experience with youth from volunteering for summer camps to mentoring youth 1:1. I have tutored children as part of this mentorship, as well as part of my Social Work Practicum. I also have experience facilitating and co-facilitating pre-teen social groups.
I have a TESOL teaching certificate, and 2 years of experience teaching ESL to children online for companies such as Palfish, VIPKid, GoGoKid, and Magic Ears in China, and Egg School in South Korea. As part of a volunteer experience, I taught English in a school in Tanzania.
I look forward to bringing a variety of topics I'm passionate about to life! I use tools such as presentations, videos, games, discussions, etc., to engage the students and promote long-term memory retention. I aim to provide a bright, fun, and encouraging atmosphere in the classroom!
I am married, and a mom to two wonderful little boys. We live in Canada with our 3 pets! We have 1 dog and 2 cats - one of them being a hairless cat (Sphynx). I hope to include her in a class someday! We love camping and traveling!Reviews
