**Students may build on any device and on whatever version of Minecraft they have in creative mode.*** Can you complete Both Minecraft goals? In this class, students will complete 2 Minecraft goals during the course of the week. Goal 1: Learners will take turns challenging their classmates to a new build each week. Outside of class students will complete the given build and then have the opportunity to show it off when we come together as a class each week. Weekly Challenge for each Section: Every section has a different challenge based on the group of learner's interest November 7th 7:00am EST Challenge: A Scary, Creepy Build November 7tht 1:35pm EST Challenge: A Triple Decker Bus November 7th 4:20pm EST Challenge: A Dragon Themed Build Goal 2: At the end of class learners will be challenged to a mini build battle. As the instructor, I will give learners a certain material and amount of time to complete the task. When the time is up, students must stop building and be prepared to show off their build. The winner of the build battle will be decided based on who receives the most votes. As students enhance their Minecraft skills, they will also be enhancing their communication skills. After each person shares their build from goal 1, students will be given the opportunity to ask questions. In addition to asking questions, students will also be encouraged to give compliments. Every learner is unique and thus completes the challenge in their own creative way. Therefore, I will help students to realize it is important to recognize other's strengths and give compliments when due. After goal 2, learners will have the opportunity to congratulate the winner of the build battle. The winner will learn how to receive praise while the other learners will learn how to give it. *Image from Pixabay (Photo of myself and the writing were added to the photo) Images also from Canva

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, thank you for showing interest in my classes! My name is Alyssa Thurow and I received my Associates Degree in Business Administration in 2016. In addition to online teaching, I have been a substitute teacher for the last 3 years. Throughout the last three years I have worked with children of all ages teaching a variety of subjects. I have found through my experience that children can grasp a topic or life skill so much quicker through the use of visual aids and games. My ultimate goal for when students leave my class is that they learned skills that will help them further their educational journey while having a good time doing it. Throughout your student’s and I's time together, I plan to bring positive energy and enthusiasm that makes the student want to learn more. A little bit about me is that I have been married to my wonderful husband for 7 years. Recently we got our first puppy that has brought us a lot of joy and keeps us on our toes. I hope to see your student in class soon!
