What's included
1 live meeting
45 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
Stuffed animals, glass animals, shells, rocks, gum wrappers, bottle caps, paperclips and cicada skins: A few of the things I collected as a child. I love the idea of collecting, and still have some of the original shells and glass animals I gathered in my younger days! In this one time course, students will share their collections and have the opportunity to ask questions about those of the other students in class. It will be a great opportunity to share interests and experiences--perhaps introduce new interests--and enjoy each other's company.
Learning Goals
Speaking, sharing and questioning skills, celebrating interests and getting to explore those of others.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Michigan Teaching Certificate in English/Language Arts
Hello!
My name is Lisa Bagchi, and I run many different classes on Outschool. Favorites include reading classes that center around discussion of theme, character, diction, and whatever else we can find, as well as creative writing groups in which we explore ideas through the written word, share work, and offer encouraging feedback.
I am a certified English/language arts teacher and have been a middle and high school teacher for over a decade. In addition to core English, I've created and taught many elective courses, including Poetry Out Loud, Flash Fiction and Fairy Tale Studies. I am also a private reading and writing tutor.
I believe that learning and play are deeply interwoven. I aim to create a feeling of community and joy in my classes, and to foster a supportive dynamic among learners. I love watching students light up, laugh, work through challenges, and become more confident learners.
I am also mom to a wonderful nineteen year old and a huge animal and nature lover. My favorite activities include pizza and a movie or playing cards with my son, my daily walk with my dogs, Moka and Floki, and sitting by the lake near my house with a good book. I also have three cats, one of whom likes to follow Moka and me on our walks if she catches us leaving! Moka may just show up in my Outschool classes from time to time...and a kitty or two may sneak in as well.
Hope to see you there!
