Parent's note: Children's ability to understand new vocabulary in a given text is closely linked to good comprehension skills in reading. Teachers work really hard to include this in the curriculum but it is time consuming. This short but information packed lesson will give children uninterrupted time to practice and hone their skills in this area. The goal is to get children to enjoy discussion based and comprehension activities. This is a colorful lesson about the sea jelly, including a focus on the effect of climate change on the jellyfish population - If your child loves learning about animals they should enjoy learning about this mysterious creature. What is covered and featured in this lesson? * What is a jellyfish? * The habitat of the sea jelly. * Facts about jellyfish * Jellyfish chat! * Activities * Embedded videos * Colorful photos and illustrations This lesson is great for both speakers of American, British, Australian, Irish, South African, New Zealand etc English. It is also suitable for children who are learning in international schools where English is a second language but the main instructional language is English. Any new and technical vocabulary will be explained and children will have a change to use new words in sentence that they can use in their work in school.

There will be times that I will send links to useful videos. In order to access some of the resources you will need to have access to Youtube. You will not need to have a Youtube account and the links will be sent through the. Outschool platform. Children will need to be supervised when watching Youtube videos,
YouTube’s Terms of Service
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service; however, children of all ages may use the Service and YouTube Kids (where available) if enabled by a parent or legal guardian.
Permission by Parent or Guardian
If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or guardian’s permission to use the Service. Please have them read this Agreement with you.
Nearpod
From time to time, optional NearPod activities will be provide for self-paced completion outside of class.
What is NearPod? NearPod is an app approved by Outschool. It can be be accessed with a code and link provided by the teacher. Nearpod is free with an account that parents / guardians will need to set up. Games will be interactive for the learner, support from the parent might be needed at first until learners get used to it but parents / guardians are always encouraged to check activities to ensure they are appropriate for their family’s needs. If NearPod is used during a live class, then the teacher will give notice of this in the classroom.
Supply List
It is very useful if older learners are able to use basic Zoom tools such as the pen tool or the typing tool. For younger learners it is fine if they are just interacting and watching, older students may wish to annotate directly onto the screen or type in the chat when answering a question or quiz if appropriate. Access to a printer or to be able to take a photo and upload this to the classroom if tasks are completed would be useful.
