US Grade 1 - 10
In this course, we'll learn about the taxonomy and characteristics of birds, then delve into the classification of birds, comparing specific species (their appearance and behaviors) to their Pokemon counterparts. Students will also be invited to design their own Pokemon, based on an interesting species of bird that has not yet inspired a "real" Pokemon. This is a self-paced course, which means there is no live component. This course contains 3 main lessons, with one short "bonus lesson" at the end. Each of the 3 main lessons has one recording (each about 40 minutes long), plus extension activities to expand your learning beyond the recording. The short "bonus lesson" has a few more extension activities and Pokémon (it does not have a video recording). Need a discount? Sure thing! All of my self-paced courses are "pay what you can afford." To get the discount you need, sign up for the course first, then message me with the discount you would like, and I will apply a partial refund.
