This class will focus on giving the learners a basic understanding of How a House Is Built. I will include information about the planning, professionals, trades, and materials used to complete a successful house build. Using photos and illustrations I will take the students through a real life example of a successful house build. The goal is not to make them builders overnight but to expose them to new ideas, vocabulary and career possibilities. I will also provide a vocabulary sheet available for download that will allow them to review all the new words used in the content the class. I plan to engage learners with questions/discussion during the heart of the class and will follow up with more review questions at the end of class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
My first career was as a Licensed Building Contractor and Red Seal Carpenter but I have spent my last two years teaching ESL. I have taught over 800 one on one lessons with young learners. My goal in becoming a teacher with Outschool is share my experience building things with young learners. From skyscrapers and houses to furniture there are many valuable lessons to be learned about the professionals, tradespeople, methods, tools and materials that go into building things. It is my goal to expose young learners to this world and give them and expanded vocabulary and mind set when it comes to building things. The career opportunities hidden in the construction field are immense. So lets put on our builder hats and share a building adventure together.Reviews
