Class Experience

US Grade 4 - 7
Students will learn the key facts as we take a road trip across the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, & Northern Ireland). Each week we will discover an area within the United Kingdom, the surrounding towns, the capital, special landmarks, fun facts, and other interesting and important information in the current area we are in. 

This class is designed for students to enter the class at any point in the ongoing status because each week will be a new area of the United Kingdom. Students will receive information prior to class on which area we will be traveling into. Each student can then research information they find interesting and/or important to bring to class. The following is an example of how we will proceed with each province. Some of the larger provinces, we may divide the province into three or four regions, along with the capital.

Week 1 (March 9th): We will be in London, England
Week 2 (March 16th): We will be in West Midlands, England and surrounding counties
Week 3 (March 23rd): We will be in Manchester, England and surrounding counties
Week 4 (March 30th): We will be in Yorkshire, England and surrounding counties
Week 5 (April 6th): We will be in Northern Wales
Week 6 (April 13th): We will be in Southern Wales, 

This class will be interactive as each student has the ability to discover information about an area in the United Kingdom and share the information with the other classmates. In fact, it is encouraged for each student to bring a discovery to class. When each student is allowed a voice, in addition to the teacher, the wealth of information can be great. This will be an exciting adventure. 

I like to be a hands-on-to-learning teacher. This class is not about the teacher. The students are the focus and will guide the course. The teacher is just the facilitator. For this class, there is no prior knowledge required to attend this class.

The students are not on Youtube themselves. * While the teacher uses Nearpod for the lessons, there may be times when the students will login to Nearpod for games, quizzes, and trivia about certain countires. * Sometimes Kahoot may be used as well requiring students to login themselves.
