***As a mom of four teens, I value the opportunities that allow them to associate with their peers, in a fun, kind and safe space. ***This homeroom will meet every weekend. Learners are not mandated to attend every class, drop in and out as you please. ***Each meet-up is unique and dictated by the students. I will offer a slideshow, consisting of Fun Facts, Trivia, Logic Puzzles, Pop Culture Updates, Sports News, Weather Check-Ins and More! *** Students will be given the option to participate in Show & Tell, practicing their public speaking skills. ***Learners will have the opportunity to build social skills, learning how to start and maintain conversations. ***Themes will vary and will include topics such as: Movies, Music, Video Games, Today's Trends, YouTube, Travel and Sports. ***This is an open forum, where diversity is welcome. * Students are welcome to keep cameras on/off, while it is amazing to see their faces - I totally understand that not every student is comfortable with this and that is ok here. * This class is flexible and will tailored to suit the learners likes and interests. * This class is ok to take in the Car, while munching on a snack or laying in bed - Come as you are!
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to use critical thinking skills, while discussing various topics with their diverse group of peers. Debate will not be encouraged and will be monitored by the instructor.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
No graphic/ violent images will be discussed. Due to the (possible) mature content involved, this class is best for 14-18 year old students, who wish to discuss stories with a diverse group and are open to hearing differing opinions than their own.
The class will focus on multiple perspectives about current events. Each class will begin with a reminder to students that this is a welcoming environment and all viewpoints may be shared. Learners will be asked to respectfully listen to others views, even if they do not necessarily agree. All learners will be encouraged to share or if they prefer to listen, that is welcome too!
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

I have an elementary education degree and ran current event discussions in my courses.
