Class Experience

In this class we will explore four positive news stories from the month (general focus on youth, environment, nature, wildlife, climate and energy) and discuss them. Learners will pick their favourite story and design the front page of their own newspaper with the title, summary and drawing of the news story of their choice. This is an interactive class and learners will be requested to keep their camera and microphone on so that they can participate fully in the class and share their work. No prior knowledge needed. News stories will be appropriate to the age group and different every month. In the case where there are not enough positive news stories available for that month, we will look at interesting articles and videos of general knowledge such as from National Geographic, Ted-ed or BBC Reels and discuss them together.
