Through a partnership and collaboration with the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and as an administrative teacher of public educational programs for more than ten years, I have taught English and social studies classes, among other subjects, to middle and high school students.

In addition, I have received over: * 75 hours of professional development, specifically in English language arts writing courses * 50 hours of professional development, specifically in history * 12 hours of professional development teaching facts about people without personal viewpoints * 75 hours of professional development in diversity from all over the world and how to teach diversity

Homework
Frequency: includedFeedback: includedDetails: Students will write a summary paragraph towards the end of class about what they learned in class. This course is designed to learn some key things about farm animals and how to write an effective summary paragraph. This will help the students to practice their summary writing. These summaries will be added into the FlipBook Final Project. Students can take a picture of their page weekly and submit for review. In addition, students carefully construct a habitat or diorama to accurately depict an farm habitat. The students can get as complex or as simple as desired. The project is not designed to be costly. Students can draw/paint/construct their habitat. Each week, based on the farm animal we have learned, the student would then add that farm animal into their habitat. Students will present their final project during week 12 for final review.Assessment
Frequency: includedDetails: The students will be assessed through their weekly summary writings for their FlipBook project. The final assessment will be assessed through the final habitat project and the final FlipBook project.Grading
Frequency: includedDetails: Grades will be provided upon request. With that being said, after completing the coursework each week, please submit them to me. In turn, I will post the answers in the classroom for the student to review and self-reflect.
One option is to create a 3D model of a farm. The students can use materials in the home. I do not want students to have to worry about costs of supplies. Some ideas to make ocean creatures include: paper, recycled materials, material, styrofoam, foil, etc. In addition, paint, crayons, or markers will be needed to decorate the ocean habitat. The students have as much or as little creativity they want to work with. The other option that does not involve a cost for a farm habitat is to create an art notebook habitat and label key facts about each farm animal. In addition, for the FlipBook Project, you will need a notebook or binder and paper, along with minimal art supplies.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
If a student chooses to "build" their habitat, they may their habitat with cardboard box and, therefore, may use glue/hot glue.
