This class is designed to support each learner in reaching their full potential. As a class, we will study crucial concepts in the English curriculum, whilst also completing extremely engaging missions with our Pokémon friends! This course is extremely interactive, and one in which will provide each learner with limitless opportunities to develop fundamental reading, writing, and communication skills. I have extensive experience in language acquisition, and I feel absolutely delighted to bring my passion and experience to my classes! In my opinion, learning is a very authentic experience, and cannot be approached with the notion that, "one size fits all." Thus, this course will also be very individualized. To begin our session, we will get to know some of our Pokémon friends. Afterwards, we will go forth and examine scenarios, and write sentences to illustrate our perceptions. Everyone will have the chance to write a sentence and share with their peers! We will then move on to our riddle of the day; this is where it gets awesome! We will solve our riddle, and then learners will be prompted to read the messages sent to us from our Pokémon friends. We must help them solve the mission of the day, they really do need all of our expertise! After we practice our read-aloud skills, by reading and engaging with our Pokémon story, we will then practice our writing skills by including our word of the day. This lesson is focused on creating cross-curricular connections, whilst also focusing on engagement with the materials and thoughtful interactions. I believe learning experiences must be fun, engaging, and wholesome! I cannot wait to share this incredible lesson with all of you. Also, our Pokémon friends are waiting, so we have no time to waste! See you soon! Each week will have a specific focus!
