Fun Activity: Each class will include a mini-game, interactive quiz, or creative task (like a “travel passport” to fill out for each country). I’ll use visual slides, images, and maps to bring each country to life. Engaging questions and discussions will keep students active, and short, fun games and quizzes will reinforce their learning. A variety of activities will keep them moving from one topic to another without losing focus. I believe in interactive and student-centered learning. My classes focus on sparking curiosity and making each lesson feel like a journey. I use a friendly, relaxed approach, encouraging students to share their thoughts and ask questions. My goal is to make learning about the world a fun adventure! Interaction will be done by: Discussion: I’ll ask questions throughout the lesson to hear learners ideas and opinions. Mini-Games and Quizzes: Fun games will keep learners engaged with the content. Slides & Visuals: I’ll use visuals to guide the lesson, with opportunities to pause for learner input. Q&A: At the end of each class, learners can ask any questions about the country we explored.
