Class Experience

***Each section of the class will require at least 3 students to open. When there aren't enough students to start a class, the starting date will be extended to the following week.

***This is an ongoing class that students will come to class with images they would like to use to steer the weekly conversation.  

Students will collaboratively create a collage with age-appropriate images which they will use as the topic of each meeting's conversation. They will be given the first five minutes of the class to create collages on the shared digital board. When the time is up, students will take turn to practice commenting or asking questions about the collage.  

I will be there as a facilitator of the board and conversation, answering any questions students may have on grammar and expression.  Students are encouraged to use two browsers, or two devices at each meeting, so an online dictionary is always at hand.
