Picture of the Day Club - Ongoing Class Level 1 Beginners
Students are naturally good observers, but they do not always pay attention to the detail unless given an invitation to do so. This class is a great way to practice very important skills in observing details, and describing them.

Beginner Level
Picture of The Day Club Level 1 is a discussion club that would take place between students around a picture. Students are naturally good observers, but they do not always pay close attention to the detail unless given an opportunity and invitation to do so. Like anything, this skill takes time and practice. Picture of the Day, is a great way to practice three very important skills in reading- observing details, and by being able to describe them. When students are asked to give observations, they must observe-closely. Describing pictures means paying close attention to details. We will be looking at a random picture and talking about it as a group. Each student will be asked about something they see in the picture. When discussing the picture each class, then this will lead to group discussions of that topic or theme. (For instance a picture will be a large spinning wheel in an ice cream shop with the many flavors if you cannot decide on one) Observations (what we can see as factual about the picture): There is a colorful wheel. It has flavors on it. I can see my favorite flavor. The wheel is round. I see a kid waiting for ice cream at the counter........ No wrong answers. This will give practice for observing and offering details as well as perspective when receiving the opinions of others. Week 1 : Ice cream Week 2 : Adventure Week 3 : Trails Week 4 : Chocolate Week 5 : Crafts Week 6 :Caves Week 7: Water Week 8 : Shopping Week 9: Animal Week 10 : Nature Week 11: Fruit Week 12 : Eggs Week 13 : Classroom Week 14 : Hippo Week 15: Giant Week 16 : Giraffe Week 17 : Snake Week 18 : Zebra Week 19 : Travel *I will message in the classroom what each week theme is for the coming week ahead. * These will be random photos each week that we will view and talk about. There are hundreds of photos, so they will not cycle. New photos will be added once we reach the end. This is a great class to get students thinking about what they see. So drop in and join the conversation of the day around a random picture.
Learning Goals
Students will improve on their observation skills.

*Note, I do not change class time for daylight saving time on my end, as my time does not change*
Note for another commitment, I am unable to teach on the following days: Feb 6-15, 2025.
My Name is Natalie. I am a Canadian from a small town in Canada, that is lovely during the summer. I love to travel, so after obtaining a TEFL 120 hour certification, I teach online to be able to have flexibility to explore our great world a lot more and meet many international students.
*I have opened auto scheduling so book as you wish* NOTE, I do not work on Mondays or Tuesdays.
I have visited so many countries, and now I am visiting and exploring South Africa with husband (where we can avoid the cold Canadian winters - although snow can be so beautiful to watch, these days I like snow on postcards). I love animals and photography.
Some of the animals I am very lucky to see most often are: zebra, giraffe, nyala, impala, waterbuck, kudu, civets, genets, porcupines at night, leopards, lions, elephants, cheetah, hyena, jackals, mongoose, plated lizards, tortoises to name a few and plenty of birds! Animal paradise I call it! Some even visit during class time, and I can show you if any arrive.
I did a long 10-month backpacking trip through Central America (I even wrote a book about it), which made me realize, that there are so many countries I still need to travel to, explore, and visit. I got to meet so many amazing people. I did a lot of volunteer work along the way as well as house and pet sit which was so fun!
I had a corporate job for 18 years in a large hospital, as an administrator, but in 2018, I decided that I wanted to travel a lot more, thus teaching online was my answer.
I am teaching ESL/English online , as well as other subjects about animals, bugs and creatures, and love teaching children (an even young adults). I want my students to have lots of fun while learning something new. I have taught over 4000 lessons.
Fun fact: I have a twin sister which is also lots of fun! Still to this day, people mix us up.
I can talk endlessly on animals. I love them.
From me, you can learn about animals, bugs, photography, ESL, writing and reading practice, and have fun while learning.
I would love to see you in my class. I have opened auto scheduling so you can find a class that suits your schedule, so book away!
Until then...
Have a great day,
Mrs. Natalie
