This one time class is for students who are English language learners. The class will be conducted in English but with lots of visuals and supports for all learners. Students who have 0-2 years of English language learning will find this class useful for practicing vocabulary and understanding U.S. culture about superstitions. We will watch 2 short video clips describing common superstitions and then use a Google slide show to practice vocabulary and pronunciation of the words that relate to superstitions. We will practice the new words through questioning, asking for volunteers to raise hands to complete the sentences and describe the pictures. There will be a chance for students to make comparaisons to their own cultures by saying whether this superstition exists in their culture and/or whether they believe it. We will practice describing the superstitions in a fun and interactive way.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to identify 10 common superstitions from the U.S and use new English vocabulary to describe them.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi! My name is Megan and I'm a mom, a teacher, and a world traveler! I love learning languages and discovering new cultures, having lived in the US, France, Belgium and Ecuador. I have a passion for teaching and connecting with kids. I have been teaching French at all levels for over 12 years. I'm a native English speaker from New York who truly enjoys helping French language learners understand this complicated language in easy to understand and fun ways! I try engaging learners with new technology, music, videos and games whenever possible. My style is warm, welcoming and allows for students to take risks with new languages in a safe space. I have a B.A in French, Spanish and Education and a M.A in French, Language Literature & Culture. I also hold an advanced certificate in TESOL. I've been a certified teacher in the United States for over 10 years and have taught in public schools for most of my career.
