Description

Class Experience

ames and the Giant Peach was one of Roald Dahl's first children's stories. Published in 1961 it follows the story of young James and his two terrible aunts. His life changes with the help of some magic beans, a peach tree and an interesting group of insects.

Students will be inspired by the story, have opportunities to discuss and interact with other students, and learn about writing, insects, and geography.

I have a literature degree from Indiana University and a teaching certificate (CELTA) from Cambridge. I have been teaching for over 15 years.

There are a few writing assignments to complete outside of class and students are expected to read sections for the book each week.

Students will need to print out the worksheets for each class. They also should have a pen or pencil and paper available for each lesson.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

4 hours 10 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
