Class Experience

Welcome to Popcorn and a Movie Social Club, where cinema enthusiasts come together once a week to indulge in the art of storytelling through film. In this engaging and interactive class, participants will embark on a cinematic journey, exploring a diverse selection of movies available on the streaming service Netflix.

Format:
Class meets weekly for lively discussions and interactive activities centered around a designated movie of the week. Participants are required to have watched the chosen movie prior to class to actively participate in the discussions and activities.

Key Activities:

Movie Discussions: Participants will engage in thought-provoking discussions led by the teacher, exploring various aspects of the movie including plot, character development, themes, cinematography, and more. This collaborative exchange encourages critical thinking and deepens understanding and appreciation of the film.

Movie-Related Games: Each class session will feature a fun and engaging game inspired by the content of the week's movie. Whether it's trivia, charades, or a movie-themed quiz, these interactive activities add an element of excitement and friendly competition to the learning experience.

Snack Time: Movie-watching isn't complete without snacks! Participants are encouraged to bring their favorite movie snacks to enjoy during class, enhancing the overall viewing experience and fostering a sense of camaraderie among fellow movie buffs.

Monthly Movie Selection:
At the end of each month, class participants will have the opportunity to vote on the movies to be watched during the next month of classes. This democratic process ensures that everyone has a say in the selection of films, fostering inclusivity and diversity in the movie-watching experience. Selected movies will have a rating no higher than Pg or an equivalent, and selections will be posted on the main class listing and in the classroom before the first Sunday of every month.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, I'm Teacher Tricia, and I'm so happy to be here on Outschool with you. I teach classes in a variety of subjects including language arts, literature, history, and life skills. As a homeschool mom of two kiddos, I have experience teaching in many different subjects and with ages ranging from early elementary through middle school. I also currently teach at a local co-op where classes are held on a once a week basis in a format very similar to that of Outschool except that I am actually in the same room as my students. In addition I attended Purdue University with a major in Elementary education and received plenty of classroom experience during my time there. I believe education should be a life-long endeavor, and I strive to learn something new everyday. It is my firm belief that when information is given in a fun and interesting way, students are much more likely to find the learning process enjoyable and to remember their classes and the subjects taught far into the future. I also ensure that each of my classes meets the needs of learners of all types. By presenting materials in many different ways and formats, I hope to be able to connect with each and every learner. I am always available if you have questions. I look forward to teaching and learning with you.
