Class Experience

US Grade 7 - 10
This is an instructional class where I will be teaching the names and functions of the human brain.

For this class you can expect a presentation using slides with a step by step explanation by myself showing and detailing the names of the structures that compose the brain. The students will follow along and using the picture that will be provided for the students that sign up for the class they will complete the blank names of the structures while I cover them and they can also write notes about their functions. 

There will be different parts during the lecture where students will be asked to share their thoughts and draw on a blank page so they can better engage and remember the material. I enjoy classes where students show their interest by asking questions and share any previous knowledge that they may know and want to share. However, participation is not mandatory. No previous knowledge of the material is necessary, just a willingness to learn and an interest in the information given. 

The course will be as follows: Day 1 
- Class Rules
- Class Introductions and greetings 
- Overview
- Brain: What's it worth?
- How do we process information?
- Left Brain vs Right Brain
- Brain Lobes and Function (beginner)
- Q&A

Day 2
- Class Rules
- Quick recap of previous material
- Brain Lobes (advanced)
- Brain diseases: Stroke, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Epilepsy and Depression. 
- Q&A
- Goodbyes

Required experience or knowledge learners need:
- Test Zoom: turn off / turn on the microphone and video. 
- Use raise hand button.

*** For the best learning experience, please have your child (if possible) take this lesson in a quiet place where he/she can keep his/her camera on. This will help me make sure that the information is being understood as well as make the class more fun and engaging. ****
Learning Goals
Students will dramatically improve their understanding of the human brain. They will learn the differences between animal and human brains. They will learn the names of each brain lobe and their basic function, how we learn and memorize new information, as well as some common scenarios and diseases that can arise.
